St. Matthew’s Roman Catholic High School is a mixed Roman Catholic secondary school based in Moston, Manchester, United Kingdom, and is a member of the Emmaus Roman Catholic Academy Trust.

The school is currently rated Inadequate by Ofsted (last full inspection: November 2017), with the latest monitoring visit (February 2021) stating that “Leaders and those responsible for governance are taking effective action to provide education in the current circumstances,” and “Senior leaders’ effective and flexible work to improve the school has given rise to a new optimism. Staff are more confident and competent in their work. Leaders continue to have clear, high expectations of all who work in the school. As a result, improvements in the school are clear to see.”

In terms of their support for Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND), St. Matthew’s is currently involved with the Autism in Schools project (2022-2023) and here is a copy of their SEND report and policy: https://www.smrchs.com/about-us/sen-and-disability-arrangements/
