“‘Transforming Schools; Changing Lives”

About The Matthew Arnold School

In February 2024 The Matthew Arnold School received an Ofsted rating of Good - ''Pupils have warm and friendly relationships with staff'', ''The rules of being 'Ready, Respectful and Safe' permeate all aspects of school life'', ''This is a school where pupils and staff are aspirational''.

Teaching and learning is at the heart of everything we do, and our motto is dream big, work hard, achieve. We do this by focusing on the individual, by taking the time to find out how each child learns best, and by acting on what each child needs from us to help him or her to access a first-class education. We are also uncompromising in our expectations: we expect that students attend 100% of the time, and are actively engaged in every lesson from start to finish.

Our staff are exceptionally supportive and welcoming. We all work co-operatively to ensure that the school is a happy and vibrant place to be; our students are proud to be at The Matthew Arnold School and flourish in a safe atmosphere of mutual respect.

We offer full induction and a comprehensive training package. We look forward to welcoming you to the school!
