Matthew Arnold School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located just west of Oxford near Cumnor Hill and Botley and is named after 19th-century poet Matthew Arnold.[4] [5]

The school contains around 1,300 pupils from years 7 to 13, and circa 80 teaching staff.[6] [7] The school catchment area includes Oxford to the west of the railway station, Botley, Cumnor, Binsey, Wytham, and stretches west towards Appleton, Fyfield and Kingston Bagpuize.[8]

Previously a community school founded in 1958 as Matthew Arnold Secondary Modern, it was administered by Oxfordshire County Council. The school was built for a total cost of £125,000 and was opened by Henry Brooke who was then Minister of Housing.[9] In August 2015, following a community consultation, Matthew Arnold School converted to academy status and is now part of the Acer Trust.[7] [10] The school continues to coordinate with Oxfordshire County Council for admissions.[11]
