Ofsted Letter to Parents 12/01/2026
Letter from Mr Young 05/01/2026
Dear Parents and Carers,
We hope you and your family enjoyed a restful and joyful Christmas break. As we begin this new term, we look forward to building on the incredible achievements and experiences that made last term so special—from the success of our sports teams and the festive cheer of our Christmas Music performance, to the generosity shown through our “Season of Goodwill” events last term. These moments remind us of the power of community, as Idowu Koyenikan said:
“There is immense power when a group of people with similar interests gets together to work toward the same goals.”
This perfectly reflects what we strive for at Rainford High through our ethos:
Everyone Matters, Everyone Helps, Everyone Succeeds.
Everyone Matters – Be Polite, Kind and Respectful
Every student is an important part of our Rainford community. This term, we will continue to uphold the high standards that create pride and belonging. Please support us by ensuring:
- Blazers are worn to show community pride.
- Only one pair of stud earrings is worn.
- Nose piercings are not allowed.
- Minimal make-up is applied.
- School shoes meet the criteria outlined in our policy.These expectations help us maintain an environment where everyone feels equal and respected
Everyone Helps – Make Sensible Choices
Our ethos is built on shared responsibility. Thank you for your support in helping us create a safe and positive environment. The closing of the school car park will be put on hold due to the bad weather and a number of issues raised by parents. Until we move forward with this, we would ask that people use the car park in a sensible and respectful manner at the start and the end of the day.
Everyone Succeeds – Work Hard and Be Resilient
This term is especially important for Year 11 and Year 13, who will receive their mock examination results and begin the final run-up to their public exams. This is a time for focus, determination, and resilience. As Winston Churchill said:
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
We encourage all students to embrace this mindset and give their very best in the weeks ahead.
Together, we will make this term another chapter of success and growth. Thank you for your continued support in making Rainford High a place where Everyone Matters, Everyone Helps, and Everyone Succeeds.
Kind regards
Ian Young
Principal
