Community is at the heart of our school!

We know that the most successful education takes place when parents/carers, staff and governors all work together.

We see good behaviour as a means of ensuring all members of the school community feel safe and happy and we take a positive approach to supporting children in developing good behaviour and attitudes. We teach our children about their rights but we take care to ensure that they also understand their responsibilities. We expect appropriate behaviour in class, the play-ground, at school functions and in the community at large.

St Matthias is a diverse neighbourhood school located in Dalston, Hackney. We recognise that each child is an individual, that all children are creative and need to succeed. Therefore, St Matthias respects the individual needs of children, fosters a caring and creative environment and emphasises the social, emotional, physical and intellectual development of each child.

At St Matthias we use MyClothing as our uniform provider.

At St Matthias we use ParentPay as our online payment provider.

We are a healthy school and encourage all pupils to make healthy meal choices. We offer a variety of delicious meals that cater to all our children including vegetarian and a halal menu.

Technology is now ubiquitous in our daily lives. It has been, and will continue in future to be, of huge benefit to our day-to-day activities. It is therefore incredibly important that we prepare children for this technology-driven world so that they can deal with online content independently and safely.
