Welcome to St Matthew's!

A message from our Headteacher

Welcome to St Matthew’s RC High School.

I have had the privilege of leading St Matthew’s as Headteacher since September 2018. Since then we have been working together on a journey towards Catholic excellence. 

 The core business of St Matthew’s is teaching, learning and achievement. Our core purpose is our Catholic ethos. We strive to ensure each young person receives the highest standard of education, that ensures they are ready for life beyond school when this comes. We believe each young person should be the best version of themselves, and we will work together to ensure this happens. 

My vision is clear. I expect the highest standards, in order to achieve the best for our young people. I am a parent and therefore know how precious every child is. I am committed to working in partnership with parents and know that by working together we will ensure that every child enjoys school, is happy and has the opportunity to thrive and achieve their best.

I look forward to continuing this journey and working together to be of service to our school community. 

Mrs Murden
