Vision & Values

Our Vision: 

Our vision for the school, our students, staff and parents is ‘There is nowhere I’d rather be.’ This is rooted in reality, not idealism - out of the choices available to them, we would want them to choose Matthew Arnold every time. 

Dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for all learners, the school serves the local community by providing an outstanding quality of education within an environment of trust, tolerance and mutual respect.

Our Values:

At The Matthew Arnold School we strive to find and nurture the brilliance in every student in our community through a well-balanced and broad curriculum which develops character and fosters aspirations towards ambitious outcomes with a positive approach to wellbeing. This is achieved through an uncompromising approach to excellence where the highest standards and expectations form the basis of everyday learning, driven by leadership within - and outside of the classroom - underpinned by our core values: Be Kind; Work Hard.

Our aim at The Matthew Arnold School, is to prepare our students to achieve their best both academically with an ambitious curriculum and socially, for the life and careers ahead of them with high expectations.

Our Mission - ‘Widening horizons’

Our core purpose is to ensure that all members of our school community are fully prepared for the next stages in their lives and can expect to find all doors open to them. They will be aware of their responsibilities as global citizens and excited about their contributions to a brighter future.
