Burley St Matthias is a 210-place Church of England Primary School, one mile from the city centre in North West Leeds. Overlooking the rich industrial landscape of the Kirkstall Valley, we are within walking distance of a Nature Reserve, Kirkstall Abbey, Armley Mills Industrial Museum, Burley Park, the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. We cater for 4 – 11 year olds in two Victorian buildings, which have undergone extensive refurbishment internally to offer modern facilities for our learners. The North Building houses the younger children from Reception to Year 2 and the South Building accommodates children from Years 3 to 6. Each building has a playground and a field. There are two spacious halls and all the classrooms are light and airy. We aim to provide a calm, caring and stimulating environment, where children learn through a wide variety of experiences.

Our children are taught to value and respect the diversity of religions, cultures and customs and to value one another.
