Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are delighted to be further enhancing our school provision with the introduction of Ruby Roos Wraparound Childcare, offering after-school clubs and childcare until 5.00pm each evening.

Combined with our school Breakfast Club, available from 8.00am in the school canteen, this provides a comprehensive wraparound service for families who require additional childcare throughout the school day.

We are delighted to be able to offer this enhanced provision and hope it will provide valuable support, flexibility and peace of mind for our families.

Kind regards
Mrs O’ Neill

The menu runs on a weekly rotation, giving children a variety of tasty and nutritious meals throughout the school year.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I am delighted to inform you that, in collaboration with MR Sports, we have arranged our very first Summer Camp for the children of St Matthew’s Primary School.

Please find attached a leaflet containing full details about the camp, which will take place from Monday 10th August to Friday 14th August 2026 in St Matthew’s Primary School.

We are thrilled to be offering this exciting opportunity for the first time and hope it will be the beginning of an annual summer programme. We look forward to expanding this provision further in the summer of 2027.

As places are limited, they will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. If you would like your child to attend, I would encourage you to register as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

We have worked closely with MR Sports to keep the cost of the camp as affordable as possible. I would also like to reassure parents that the school does not make any financial profit from this camp. Our sole aim is to provide children with an enjoyable, active and engaging experience during the summer holidays, giving them the opportunity to develop new skills, build confidence, make friendships and have fun in a safe and familiar environment.

I am confident that many of our pupils will thoroughly enjoy this opportunity and I hope it will prove to be a memorable week for all who attend.

Booking is directly with MR Sports online.

Thank you for your continued support.

Mrs O' Neill
