Global business KPMG is a leading provider of professional services, including audit, tax and advisory specialisms, and works with St Matthew Academy pupils on an exclusive mentoring scheme.

KMPG in Schools identifies pupils with the potential to progress into higher education and highlight the accessibility of this pathway, regardless of background and starting points. Employees from KMPG work alongside Year 9 and 10 pupils in a mentoring project; supporting their applications for higher education and the development of life skills that will aid this and employability projects to gain an understanding of the knowledge, tools and skills to gain entry to careers and aid in their own sense of employability.

St Matthew Academy is incredibly lucky to benefit from this unique partnership and has been for over 3 years; with pupils having the opportunity to participate in workshops, experience the KMPG Canary Wharf offices, mentoring and breakfasts with top KMPG representatives.
