All
Saints Church of England Primary School is a voluntary aided co-educational
primary day school for pupils aged 5-11 years. Education after 11 is provided
at High or Comprehensive Schools. All Saints C.E. School was opened in 1854,
under the patronage of the Earl of Dartmouth. Many changes and re-organisations
took place during the first century of the schools existence; the final one
being during 1969 and 1970 when the Secondary Modern School closed and the
Infants and Junior schools were amalgamated to form All Saints Primary School.
The re-organised Primary School moved into the present building in 1973. The
Head Teacher is responsible to the School Governors. Church of England members
who live anywhere within the Borough have the right to send their children
to the school on religious grounds.
All Saints School is a Christian school. Children are able to develop their
own religious beliefs and grow in their own religious denomination. The Staff,
the children, and the parents are as a family, each working to the benefit
of one another.
How staff approach children and parents, how children react
to visitors, how children behave towards each other, reflects the Christian
ethos that is to be found in the school. The family atmosphere created within
the school is one that has been developed over many years. New parents soon
gain great comfort from this knowing that every care and attention will be
given to their children’s education and pastoral care. It is the present
policy of the Sandwell Education Authority to admit Sandwell children at or
near the beginning of the school year in which they have their fifth birthday,
provided a school place is available. Parents are always welcome to visit
the school, and should contact the Head Teacher in order to make an appointment
to discuss admission arrangements.

grow within their faith. An awareness and acceptance of the right of individuals
to follow a faith other than their own. To develop independent and happy pupils.
