AdminHistoryThe St Matthew's Schools, Rugby, originally comprised Boys', Girls' and Infants' schools. In September 1919 the Boys' School was reorganised: it no longer took boys of all ages above infant level, but only those aged eleven and upwards, and became known as the Central School. In April 1945 it became known as the Senior Boys' School, and later St Matthew's Secondary Modern School. In 1960 it became St Matthew's High School for Boys. In April 1963 it moved to Bilton and was renamed the Herbert Kay High School. In September 1977 it amalgamated with the Westland High School for Girls to become Bilton High School.
