Matthew Gibney Catholic Primary School is a co-educational school comprised of 256 students from 3YO to Year 6. It services the parish of Saint Francis of Assisi in Maida Vale. Matthew Gibney is committed to nurturing the potential of all members as they follow Christ's example within an environment where self worth and individual successes are highly valued. Working closely with our Parish of St Francis of Assisi we offer a complete sacramental programme, incorporating the sacraments of First Reconciliation, First Eucharist and Confirmation. The school offers a variety of learning opportunities, including a Gifted and Talented programme and support in Literacy and Numeracy across all years. We are committed to developing independent learning skills and strongly encourage the use of learning technologies within the curriculum. A broad range of other curriculum activities include Sport, Music, Italian, Drama and Dance. An early childhood directed play-based programme is offered at a 3 Year Old, Kindergarten and Pre-Primary level. The motto of Matthew Gibney Catholic Primary School is 'Under God's Protection' and as a school community we endeavour to live the Gospel values as taught by Jesus.
