Waterloo Primary School is proud to be part of Mersey View Learning Trust: a collaborative family of primary, secondary and specialist schools serving children and young people across Sefton and Merseyside.

The Trust brings schools together through a shared commitment to high expectations, inclusion and continuous improvement. By working collaboratively, schools can share expertise, develop staff and create wider opportunities for pupils, while ensuring that every child receives a high-quality education in a safe and nurturing environment.

Being part of Mersey View Learning Trust gives Waterloo access to the knowledge, experience and support of colleagues across a diverse range of educational settings. This strengthens our work in areas such as teaching and learning, safeguarding, special educational needs, professional development and school improvement. It also creates valuable opportunities for our pupils and staff to learn from, and alongside, others across the Trust.

Waterloo retains its own distinctive identity, values and strong connection with its local community. Our membership of the Trust complements this: enabling us to benefit from collective strength while continuing to make decisions that reflect the needs of Waterloo’s children and families.

Together, we share the ambition that every child and young person should:

• feel safe, known and valued;
• experience an inclusive and aspirational education;
• achieve their full academic and personal potential;
• benefit from rich experiences beyond the classroom; and
• develop the confidence and resilience needed for their future.

At Waterloo, our SHINE values—Strive, Honesty, Inclusion, Nurture and Excellence—sit naturally alongside the Trust’s commitment to collaboration, care, aspiration and equity. Together, we are working to provide the very best education and opportunities for every child.
