About St Matthew's Primary School

St Matthew’s Primary School sits within the Cambridgeshire local authority, a large state primary in Cambridge that ranks 10th out of 26 schools in the city itself when measured by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at key stage 2. That puts it comfortably in the top half of Cambridge primaries, though it sits behind the top-performing peers in the area: Histon and Impington Brook Primary School, Caldecote Primary School and Abbots Ripton CofE Primary School all score higher on the same metric. Across the wider East of England region, St Matthew’s ranks 525th out of 1,612 primary schools, and nationally it sits at 5,070th out of 13,686. The school is led by headteacher Anthony Davies and is non-denominational, with a nursery provision for children aged three and above. It is a large school, with 646 pupils on roll against a capacity of 660, and it was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 153 applications for 89 places, with 73 first-preference offers made.
