Meet our Headteacher

Mr Matt Hire

It is a genuine privilege to lead St Michael Abbey School a school with a rich-legacy, proud tradition and remarkable potential. I am absolutely delighted to be Headteacher of such a prestigious British Independent school and to work with a community that shares a deep belief in excellence, ambition and opportunity for every young person.

I bring to St Michael Abbey School a wealth of experience gained from leading high-performing schools in both the UK and internationally. Having worked across diverse educational settings, I have seen first-hand the transformative power of high expectations, exceptional pastoral care and a values-driven culture. My leadership is grounded in a deep belief in community, integrity, curiosity and ambition; values that shape not only academic success, but the character and confidence of young people. I am passionate about creating schools where students are known as individuals, challenged to think deeply, supported to take risks, and inspired to become thoughtful, principled and globally minded citizens.

Our school has a strong foundation in British culture and historical heritage, renowned for its long history and outstanding educational background. Our educational philosophy is to combine internationalisation with localisation, preserving the essence of traditional British education while adapting to the trends of globalisation.

Dr. Shawn C, Chairman of St Michael Abbey School
