St Matthew’s is a one-form entry, semi-rural infant school set in Downside village, Cobham. It is a well-loved and respected school that has been part of the local community for over 120 years. It is both friendly and nurturing, alongside maintaining high expectations for pupils to achieve well throughout their 3-year journey with us.

As well as our focus on progress and attainment academically, we help children to develop a growth mind-set and a love of learning through our broad, creative curriculum and imaginative learning environment. Positive learning behaviour and PSHE are a strength of the school within this close-knit, caring community of learners.

We are seeking a part time Teaching Assistant to join our team for 15 hours per week (although this may be negotiable).

As a small school, we think big about learning opportunities, so if you are looking for your next challenge and feel you are the right person for the role, we are looking forward to hearing from you.
