Welcome
It is a distinct privilege and honour to lead Matravers School.
Matravers School stands as a place of excellent learning. As a distinguished 11-18 institution, we offer a grammar-style education without the necessity of passing the 11+ examination to gain entry. Our school is renowned as one of the highest-achieving institutions in the County.
At Matravers, we seamlessly blend a deeply traditional, independent ethos with a wealth of modern opportunities designed to benefit your child. Our bespoke, state-of-the-art learning environment fosters collaboration, ensuring that every pupil reaches their full potential both academically and personally. Pupils within the Matravers family are encouraged to think creatively, critically, and innovatively, while upholding a strong sense of responsibility, loyalty, and moral integrity towards the school and the broader community.
Our extensive 13-acre campus, located in the heart of Westbury, features a harmonious mix of historic and contemporary buildings. Recent investments include a cutting-edge STEM Centre, upgraded English and Humanities facilities, and specialised spaces for Dance, Music, and the Matravers Mavericks. These enhancements reflect our commitment to providing an exceptional educational experience.
We are dedicated to academic excellence, with a curriculum designed to challenge and inspire our pupils. Our highly qualified and passionate teachers employ innovative teaching methods to ensure that pupils grasp complex concepts and develop a deep understanding of their subjects. We offer a broad range of subjects tailored to meet the diverse interests and aspirations of our pupils.
Our rigorous academic programme is complemented by a strong focus on literacy and numeracy, ensuring that pupils build a solid foundation for future success. Regular assessments and personalised support help each pupil to achieve their best, with many progressing to top universities and successful careers. The school's commitment to excellence is reflected in our consistently high examination results and the diverse achievements of our alumni.
Beyond the classroom, Matravers School offers an excellent programme of co-curricular activities that enrich our pupils' skills, knowledge, and personal qualities. Our pupils have access to a diverse range of clubs and societies, including sports teams, performing arts groups, and academic clubs. These activities foster teamwork, leadership, and creativity, ensuring that every pupil can explore their interests and develop their talents. We believe that school life extends beyond formal lessons, and our co-curricular offerings play a crucial role in shaping our well-rounded individuals.
