About Highfield St Matthew's Church of England Primary School

About Liverpool Diocesan Schools Trust

We believe

Jesus said ‘Let the children come to me.’ (Mt 19).
We believe that we are fulfilling this command when we enable children of all faiths and none to flourish in our schools. The Liverpool Diocesan Schools Trust (LDST) has an important role to play in improving the attainment of pupils across the Diocesan region.
We believe that as a diocesan led Multi Academy Trust (MAT) we create stronger bonds of collaboration and cooperation, sharing good practice, addressing areas of weakness and offering increased opportunities for professional development.

We are on a journey to grow a Trust in which our schools will continue to thrive under the leadership of headteachers, supported and challenged by local governing bodies and accountable to the board of directors.
We are confident that this will be achieved whilst at the same time ensuring that all of our family of schools benefit from high levels of collaboration.

These are the things we value

Our values are more than just a statement; they are the core principles that guide our decisions and actions. We arrived at our values through consultation, looking at both the account in Genesis 18 of the visit to Abraham of three angels and also particularly at the icon of this event painted by Andrei Rublev. Through this we identified the core values to our Trust:
• Collaboration
• Valuing the Local
• Valuing Difference
• Inclusion

About Rainford C E Primary School

Our mission statement is ‘Learning and growing together to achieve our best in the love of God’.
Rainford Church of England Primary School is a popular and successful school.
We aim to provide an inspirational, safe and caring learning environment where the whole school community lives out our Christian values of love, joy, peace, friendship, forgiveness, perseverance and justice. We provide a broad and balanced curriculum, fueled by the interests of our pupils and aim to meet the learning needs of each individual child, enabling them to flourish, form happy memories and reach their full potential.
We are a school in the heart of the community and foster close links with All Saints Church, our parents and the local community.

We joined Liverpool Diocese Schools Trust on 1st March 2021 to deepen these links and to continue to improve the education we provide to our children.

We are very proud of our (June 2017) OFSTED where we were rated as good.
This rating rewards the hard work and commitment of our staff to school
improvement. We will continue improving and reach our goal of being
Outstanding, so that all our children reach their full potential.

Our staff are committed to raising standards for all pupils. They pride
themselves on working effectively together and in partnership with parents, to provide a caring and supportive learning environment.

We want children to enjoy their education and develop an enthusiasm for
learning. To facilitate this, we take full advantage of our fantastic surroundings including a spacious playgrounds and field, small woodland and access to the Linear Park. By integrating these into learning we provide a range of rewarding learning experiences that encourage, challenge and extend the abilities of our children.

We are proud of our school and encourage you to visit our website, which we hope will give you a real insight into what makes us a truly successful and happy school.
