Teaching Assistant

Highfield St Matthew’s is a happy and harmonious school and was quite rightly judged to be Good in all areas in our most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2023. Our school team is dedicated to ensuring all children are happy, content, hardworking and successful. The school also had a very successful SIAMS inspection in 2024, and this reflects our ongoing commitment to ensuring the highest possible standards within a Christian environment of love, respect and care. Our bespoke SHINE Curriculum provides a unique and exciting curriculum that is created to suit our children’s needs and allow them to excel in all they do. Our best practice has been externally recognised through accredited quality marks in English, Maths, Geography and Science. An exciting opportunity has arisen for a temporary teaching assistant to join our friendly a motivated team!

LDST is a family of schools that welcomes young people of all faiths and none, working together to provide an excellent education built on distinctly Christian values. We work in a collaborative way with a family of 19 schools in our Trust, and our staff benefit from ongoing training and development to continue to provide the very best standards of education and care. Liverpool Diocesan Schools Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment to keeping children safe.
