The St Matthew Academy is particularly exciting as it has girls and boys from ages 3 to 16, with the powerful opportunities this provides to create a co-educational school for the 21st century in magnificent, new buildings with the latest technology. Our curriculum, pastoral care, teaching and learning, and community links are designed to develop self-disciplined, self confident, adaptable, skilled learners ready to take their place through further or higher education in the fast-paced, international community that is 21st-century London. Our specialism is in Business and Enterprise and we will ensure that our students are given every opportunity to develop initiative, creative thinking and collaborative skills through the academy's systems and events and through links with local businesses.

As a Catholic academy we endeavor to develop the spiritual lives of our children and their understanding of moral and ethical issues, and of Catholic values. We see diversity as a cause for celebration and enrichment, hence our students are strongly supported and inspired to achieve and succeed whatever their background, ethnic origin, gender, ability or interests. In partnership with our sponsor, the Catholic Diocese of Southwark, together with DfES and the Borough of Lewisham, The St Matthew Academy aims to quickly develop excellent standards of work and conduct.
