At Matchborough First School we are committed to providing a welcoming atmosphere where staff and children work together to create a happy, safe, caring and stimulating learning environment in partnership with parents, governors and the local community.

We will strive to develop a culture of excellence in which the whole school community is encouraged to reach its full potential and all members take responsibility for themselves, others and their environment.

This will be achieved through a broad and balanced curriculum combined with high quality teaching, learning and professional development, in a well resourced school which encourages creativity and co-operation, and where individual efforts are valued and celebrated.
