Children in Need. Pudsey encouraged everyone to Challenge themselves. Our first Challenge took place in Breakfast club. A huge pile of PE equipment appeared in the hall. The challenge was to work in collaboration and create a circuit.
Smethwick Remembered Lest we forget
Children in Need Friday 13th November The theme this year is challenge yourself' and so our school council would like everyone to come to school dressed in sports clothes or PE kit so that the staff can 'challenge' them during the course of the day. We will be asking for a contribution of 50p per child or a £1 for families which will be sent to Children in Need. Please support this worthwhile cause.
Happy Diwali to our community and families. Love , kindness and light to everyone
We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school today !.
Parent Governor Required Our governing body is made up of people from all walks of life who all have a range of backgrounds, skills and experiences. Governors are volunteers who work together for the benefit of the school and are the link between school and the community we serve. We are currently looking for a new parent governor and would be delighted to hear from anyone who has a child who currently attends St Matthew's and a desire to improve the performance of our school. If you are interested, please see Mrs Deakin
Half Term Tomorrow is an INSET day, school will be closed for children. We return to school on Monday 2nd November.
