Matthew Moss High School Achieves Inclusive Attendance Bronze Accreditation
We are absolutely delighted to share that Matthew Moss High School has officially been awarded the Inclusive Attendance Bronze Standard Accreditation!
At Matthew Moss, our core mission is to empower our young people for a “Learning for Life”—equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and emotional means to create happy, successful, and productive lives. This prestigious national recognition is a major milestone on that journey, celebrating our commitment to building an environment where every learner feels safe, valued, and fully supported to attend school every day.
The Inclusive Attendance programme is a highly respected, evidence-backed initiative. Over recent months, our community has engaged in comprehensive professional development to approach attendance through a collaborative, child-first lens.
Earning this Bronze standard required a rigorous, independent audit of our daily school practices and the creation of a tailored action plan. This achievement is deeply rooted in our school’s CHANGE values:
- High Standards: We hold ambitious expectations for our attendance community because we know consistency is the foundation of academic and personal success.
- Agency & Growth Mindset: We respect our learners as emergent adults and empower them to take proactive responsibility for their own conduct and well-being. By removing barriers to attendance, we give them the space to learn to succeed through practice.
- Empathy: We care deeply about others as well as ourselves. Attendance challenges are complex, and our team approaches every family with kindness, dignity, and a desire to listen first.
Achieving this national standard is a fantastic victory, but it is just the beginning of our journey. We would like to extend a huge thank you to our dedicated staff for embedding these inclusive practices, and to our wonderful parents and carers for their vital partnership. Together, we will continue to ensure that every learner at Matthew Moss is fully equipped to thrive!
