St. Matthew's Church of England Primary School



“Let your light shine before others” Matthew 5:16


St. Matthew’s CE Primary School is located in Chapel Allerton, a thriving and popular suburb of north Leeds. The school has a long and rich history having been founded in 1872, albeit occupying a different site from which it moved on its 100 year anniversary in 1972.  St. Matthew’s enjoys strong and close relationships with the local church and community.


The school has a teaching Head, Miss Gemma Crawford and a Local Academy Council made up of parents, staff, foundation governors including the incumbent of the local church and community governors, chaired by Nick Burrows.


The school benefits from working collaboratively with other schools in the Trust to ensure high quality teaching across all curriculum subjects; however, the curriculum is bespoke to the school meeting the specific needs of the children within its classes. All St. Matthew’s children have their own class teacher.
