Mr Matthew Hawker

Interim Head of Junior School

My passion lies in providing a holistic education that truly puts the child at the centre.

My Westbourne journey started in 2019, after a rewarding period in the state sector. Ever since then, it has been my great privilege and joy to have witnessed the remarkable development of our pupils.

My passion lies in providing a holistic education that truly puts the child at the centre. I believe in fostering a love of learning that extends beyond the classroom, and I'm particularly enthusiastic about the rich academic opportunities we offer here at Westbourne. I’m a firm believer in the power of specialist teaching, and I’m delighted that our pupils benefit from dedicated experts in Music, French, Drama, PE, and Outdoor Learning. Seeing children discover and develop their talents in these areas is truly inspiring.

My commitment to academic excellence has been evident in my roles here, from coordinating Mathematics provision for over four years to my previous position as Head of Middle School, and now as Interim Head of Junior School. I also continue to support the development of our teachers, coordinating provision for Early Career Teachers.

Originally from the West Midlands, I'm a keen runner and a loyal supporter of Wolverhampton Wanderers. I'm dedicated to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where every child at Westbourne can flourish and reach their full potential. I look forward to welcoming you to our school.
