Our Trust of Schools

Who We Are

Welcome to Matford Brook Academy, a new all-through school within the Haldon Reach development on the outskirts of Exeter. Our mission at Matford Brook Academy is to provide an excellent, all-through education that empowers children to believe they can, and should, change the world around them. We summarise this in one mantra that is woven through the fabric of our school: at Matford Brook Academy, we write our story. We are providing a school with an excellent education and broad opportunities for our children, rooted in the core understanding that, in order for children to thrive both now and in their future, they need to believe that the greatest influence on their lives is themselves.

Director of Education for Ted Wragg Trust

We could not be more pleased to be welcoming you to this new school community close to the beginning of our journey. As part of the Ted Wragg Trust, Matford Brook Academy will belong to an ambitious and inclusive Trust of schools. I will be working closely with outstanding leaders, teachers, parents, and the local community to provide a warm, happy and successful school community that empowers our children.

Please have a look at our 'Early Brochure' for more information about our vision and values, our curriculum and our school structure.

We look forward to meeting more prospective families and members of the local community and welcoming our incoming cohort of pupils for September 2025 so that, together, we can write our story.
