At our school we have built a friendly and welcoming place of learning. We take pride in our warm and positive atmosphere believing that happy children make good learners. We are firm advocates of valuing children for who they are, in addition to what they achieve. We feel it is just as important to praise effort as well as results!

Taylor is a multicultural Primary School maintained by the Leicester Education Authority. We cater for the 3 to 11 age range and we draw most of our children from the St Matthew's Estate. St Matthew's is an area of mainly Council-owned housing, situated some 10 minutes walks from the facilities of Leicester City Centre. The Estate is close to Abbey Park and in recent years it has undergone a great deal of improvement in order to provide modern living facilities and good amenities for play and recreation.

The St Matthew's Neighbourhood Centre is well used by the local community, the nearby What Cabin is a popular play centre for the children, St Matthews Sure Start and St. Matthew’s Contact Project have close contact with the School and the active Tenants' Association has done much to promote a sense of community pride .

Our STARFISH vision, values and aims are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.
