Matthew Moss High School is a different kind of school: it is different because it is absolutely focused on developing young people so that when they leave us they are ready for the world and able to create happy, successful and productive lives for themselves.

In order for this to happen, young people need three things from their schooling; knowledge, skills and a real sense of direction about their next steps. Many schools focus on servicing only the first need. At Matthew Moss we provide an educational experience that provides all three.

We want our learners to be treated with dignity and fully developed as citizens through:

• Composure – We remain effective under pressure.
• High standards – We expect much from ourselves and others.
• Agency – We know how to learn and make things happen.
• Numeracy and literacy – We master our use of numbers and words.
• Growth mindset – We learn to succeed through practice.
• Empathy – We care about others as well as ourselves.
