Matthew Moss High School

Pioneers Partnership SCITT, offers experience in secondary education at our partner school, Matthew Moss High School.

Matthew Moss High School is a coeducational secondary school located in Rochdale in the English county of Greater Manchester and is part of the Watergrove Trust.

Welcome and Purpose
Our Mission is to empower young people for a life of learning both satisfying to themselves and of significant value to others.

Matthew Moss High School is a different kind of school; it is different because it is absolutely focused on developing your child 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. At Matthew Moss we provide an educational experience which provides all three.
