About St Matthew's Primary School
St. Matthew's Primary School is a primary school maintained by Luton Borough Council for the High Town community in Luton, Bedfordshire.
The school opened on Wednesday 6 September 2006, following the merger of the former St. Matthew's Infant and St. Matthew's Junior Schools.
During our first year we were pleased to be awarded with Investors In People accreditation. An independent assessor visited the school and interviewed a range of members of staff and published an extremely pleasing report on the work of the school.
