All Saints RC Primary School

At All Saints Voluntary Aided Catholic Primary School our school life is based on Christian Values. We recognise and respond to the needs of the whole child and develop each child’s potential as an individual, with staff who have high expectations and who encourage children to become independent, resilient, and well-motivated individuals.

We develop happy, fulfilled, well-educated and confident children in a secure, caring, disciplined environment with our Faith as the focus of our actions. We place great emphasis on forming each child to become a valuable member of the school community. Discipline and moral values are based on the Christian message. Children are taught to care for each other and mutual respect is paramount.

Many visitors to the school comment on the warm welcome they receive and the politeness of our pupils. Our school covenant of ‘learning together in a caring, sharing, loving environment’ is always evident and is central to the development of each pupil and to affirming the importance of every pupil’s dignity and worth.

Education is a partnership between home, school and parish so we positively encourage and promote the participation of parents in the learning process and in the life of our school. Parents are welcome partners in the education of their child and in the development of our school family.

We offer a range of extra-curricular activities, which include the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, sing in the choir, participate in a range of sporting activities and contribute to the local community.

All Saints School is a Roman Catholic School, and welcomes children who are both Catholic or of other faiths or no faith. We are happy to provide an opportunity for prospective parents to visit our school and experience for themselves the calm, welcoming Christian ethos and work ethics and show them the facilities that All Saints can offer their child.

At All Saints Catholic School we learn together in a Caring, Sharing, Loving environment working in partnership with Parents and Parish to ensure each child develops spiritually academically, morally, physically and socially. Children are valued as individuals and encouraged to strive for self improvement whilst remaining sensitive to the needs of others.

We endeavour to promote a welcoming community based on trust and mutual respect, where all individuals feel that they are valued and belong. We develop our spirituality through prayer, reflection and celebration whilst living out our Faith.

The school is committed to the widest and fullest education, encouraging each child to develop their full potential in fun and exciting learning activities. As we journey together with Christ, we seek to create the joy and wonder of learning through celebrating God's love in our lives.

We aim to:

• To create a caring Catholic Community in which the Catholic Faith is put into daily practice and in which Catholic Doctrine and Principles are explored.
• To deliver the Curriculum through relevant differentiated and stimulating Topics of work which offer equal opportunity for self- improvement through the raising of standards allowing all to succeed.
• To involve both the parents and the parish in the education of the children.
• To foster positive attitudes to learning and self-development and to encourage high expectations.
• To develop concerns for all and an understanding of how an individual’s actions affect others.
• To promote a healthy and active life style.
• To work with both Bishop Hedley high school and the community to ensure that the children are well prepared to continue the learning process.
