This is supported by close links with the church and other faith communities in the area.* *The pupils are confident, friendly, pleasant and welcoming. They respect each other and are ready to compliment each other on their work. For example, when the inspector was discussing a display that a pupil had prepared at home, others came to say how good it was and how impressed they were*. *OFSTED 2018* *### SMSC and British Value SMSC and British Values 307 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/files/documents/SMSC_and_British_Values_Teacher_version_final.pdf)* ![](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/images/images/IMG_7707.jpg) ### Christian Distinctiveness - [Vision and Mission Statement ](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/christian-distinctiveness/vision-and-mission-statement) - [Religious Education](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/christian-distinctiveness/r-e-syllabus) - [SIAMS Inspection ](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/christian-distinctiveness/siams-inspection) - [School Values ](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/christian-distinctiveness/school-values) - [SMSC and British Values](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/christian-distinctiveness/school-values/british-values) - [Christian Values](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/christian-distinctiveness/school-values/christian-values) - [Church](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/christian-distinctiveness/our-worship) - [Worship](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/christian-distinctiveness/worship) - [Courageous Advocacy](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/christian-distinctiveness/our-charity-work) - [Special Days ](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/christian-distinctiveness/special-days) - [![Artsmark Award](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/Am_Schl_Gld_RGB.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![EAL Quality Mark](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/EAL_Silver.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![Halo Code](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/halo_code.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) ##### Location New Hall Lane Preston Lancashire PR1 5XB ##### Contact Us 01772 794482 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587761925215) - [X](https://x.com/mackley_ma56490) © Copyright 2018–2026 St Matthew's Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
