All Are Welcome
On behalf of Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust, our local governing committee and our staff, I extend to you a very warm welcome to our school.
We are a Catholic school serving the parish of Our Lady and St. Cuthbert, the community of Prudhoe and its surrounding areas. We welcome all children regardless of faith background and we endeavour to provide a first class education provided in a deeply caring and nurturing setting.
Our School
‘Childhood is not preparation for life, childhood is life.’
The modern world is always in such a hurry and naturally we all feel anxious to ensure our children are prepared for adulthood and the challenges that it brings. At St. Matthew’s, we want to ensure that, as well as preparing them for their futures, our children are enabled to feel present so that they can enjoy every single day of their school experience. Our aim is that as they look back in the future, they really believe it when they say, ‘they were the happiest days of our lives’.
Curriculum
As well as ensuring that our children are academically prepared for the next step in their educational journey, we are passionate about ensuring our children’s school days truly are ‘the happiest days’ of their lives.
Our ‘childhood curriculum’ is designed to ensure all our children leave St. Matthew’s with a breadth of experiences, designed and delivered to build character developing key life skills, and to ignite a passion for life long learning.
Our curriculum is based on five cornerstones which underpin every lesson, every interaction, and every experience our children participate in during their time at St. Mathew’s. Our curriculum is designed to improve communication, build confidence, encourage creativity, embrace challenge and produce global citizens who will enact positive change.
Parents' Hub
At St. Matthew’s, we pride ourselves on the strength of the relationships built between home and school. We recognise that St. Matthew’s is an extension of your children’s home and as such, we aim to create a loving, happy and welcoming environment, in which all members of the family feel supported and can flourish.
In our Parent Hub section, you can find out all of the important information that you need to make your life just that little bit easier!

I feel extremely blessed and privileged to be leading this wonderful school which has served the people of Prudhoe for almost 150 years.
As is often said, the ‘proof is in the pudding’ so if our website doesn’t provide you with everything you need to know about us, then please come along for a visit. I would be delighted to show you around.
Bright Blessings!
