From the Matravers School
Matravers, a non-fee paying 11鈥�18 school, combines an exceptional choice of opportunities for your child with an incredibly traditional, independent, and happy culture. We have a fantastic, personalised learning environment where everyone collaborates to ensure that students reach their greatest potential in both their academic and personal development. Students at Matravers have a strong feeling of duty, devotion, and moral purpose for the school and the larger community. They also enjoy the ability to think creatively, critically, and innovatively. I think that vibrant, energetic teaching must excite students and hold their attention. Students are drawn into a culture of success and achievement at Matravers by the enthusiasm with which teachers impart their lectures. Mediocrity has no place in our high-performance learning environment. Matravers does not accept second-best performance; justifications are not accepted! We ensure that every Matravers student has the chance to let their light shine in whatever area they excel by fostering strong, close relationships between students, their families, and school personnel. We will create the necessary frameworks to make this happen. I'm eager to get to know you and welcome you to our outstanding learning environment.
