DoWMAT
Rushwick CE Primary School has been part of the Diocese of Worcester Multi-Academy Trust (DoWMAT) since January 2023.
We, at Rushwick School, are so proud and happy to belong to the Diocese of Worcester Multi Academy Trust. Our school, its staff and pupils benefit greatly from the support, encouragement and challenge we receive from the Trust at all levels.
DoWMAT Schools Pre-merge
On 1 September 2026, the Diocese of Worcester Multi Academy Trust (DoWMAT) merged with Elements
Diocesan Learning Trust to form a single organisation: Elements Diocesan Learning Trust.
As a result, references on this website to DoWMAT relate to the Trust's former name. During this transition
period, some documents, policies and website content may continue to display DoWMAT branding while they
are reviewed and updated.
The merger has created a larger family of schools, with five additional schools joining the Trust. This brings new
opportunities for collaboration, shared expertise and school improvement, while allowing each school to retain
its unique identity and place within its local community.
Our school continues to benefit from the support and opportunities of being part of the Trust, whose vision is
"Flourishing together, in the love of God," underpinned by the values of Love, Learning and Service, lived out
through Collaboration, Honesty and Hope.
The Trust website is also currently being updated to reflect the merger and new branding. During this transition
period, Trust-wide policies and key information can be accessed via the current Trust website:
www.dowmat.education. Policies, branding and website content will be harmonised and updated over time
across all schools and Trust platforms.
We appreciate your understanding as we update our materials to reflect our new name and identity: Elements
Diocesan Learning Trust
DoWMAT Vision
‘To Love, To Learn, To Serve’ sums up the DoWMAT’s vision for those who come together to create the MAT, enabling all to flourish both as individuals and in community with each other; living life in all its fullness (John 10:10).
These core values underpin all aspects of our Trust as we strive to make a positive difference to the lives of all DoWMAT pupils whilst they are at school and in later life. Through these values, we can be sure our community is one of hope; a place of transformation and trust, where all are treated with respect and dignity.
