Matthew has been with The Mandeville School since September 2020, having previously been at St Michael's Catholic School in High Wycombe, and brings a wealth of knowledge to the school. Matthew's background is as a history teacher and he taught in Maidenhead prior to entering senior leadership. He is passionate about developing students as life long learners and has always been keen to continue to learn himself: he completed an MSc in Learning and Teaching at the University of Oxford in 2014. 

Since arriving, he has led significant changes at The Mandeville School while guiding the school through unprecedented times resulting from the pandemic.

"My fundamental goal is that students will flourish here. For me, flourishing means developing successfully in both academic and non-academic ways because of the environment around you. The school will become a place where students achieve great things, including a significant improvement in GCSE, vocational, and A-Level performance. Yet, the school will not measure achievement only through exam results, it will also do this through the kind of people our students become."
