The Matthew Arnold School

The Matthew Arnold School The Matthew Arnold School is a co-educational secondary school with academy status located in Staines

The Matthew Arnold School has a strong position in the local community - geographically, socially, emotionally and academically. We are well-placed to attract a truly comprehensive intake, and the school already serves as a sports and social centre thanks to our outstanding sports facilities. The school has served the local community since before the Second World War. Like any school, it has had i

ts good times and faced its challenges, but it has never lost the allegiance of the local community and we have an obligation to acknowledge and maintain this loyalty by being the very best school we can be.

A special moment for our Year 11 students as they came together for their leavers assembly and prom. It was a time to reflect on memories made, friendships formed and everything they have achieved during their time at the Matthew Arnold. Prom was a wonderful evening full of smiles, laughter and memories to mark the end of an important chapter.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026: we wish you every success for the future!
