St Matthew’s School sits in the heart of Hastings. It’s 130+ pupils range from Year 0 to 8. The noise and disruption of renovations to the church are coming to an end and the buildings are looking fantastic. Their motto is "teach our children to use the right path, and when they are older they will remain on it" Proverbs 22:6 and achieve this by offering high quality values and curriculum based education within a special character context.
