Welcome from the Headteacher

Welcome to All Saints C of E Primary School’s website. Being the head teacher of this forward thinking, inspiring and welcoming school is a real pleasure and I thoroughly enjoy working with the staff, children, families and wider community to make All Saints the best it can be.

We are all very proud that our school is described by those that visit us as a friendly school with a ‘family feel’. Children, staff, families and visitors mix well together, encourage each other and really get to know each other.

All Saints pupils are excited by their curriculum and all that their school has to offer them. They appreciate the benefits of attending a Church school, our values and our strong sense of purpose. We know this because they tell us and attendance is consistently high - children want to come to school where they flourish and thrive.

The positive ethos at All Saints is based on a foundation of strong Christian values. Our children have fantastic opportunities to develop academically, spiritually, socially and emotionally. They engage well with their curriculum and enjoy expressing themselves through the Arts; being physically active as much as possible, feeling empowered by what they learn and how they identify with and feel inspired by learning. They also enjoy working practically, including in our forest area and the many exciting opportunities to learn outside of the classroom.

We are also fully committed to preparing the children for adulthood through developing independence, resilience, pride and emotional well-being. Our character education and personal development programme is well-planned and delivers real opportunities and experiences to support learners at all levels.

We want to give them a memorable time at school and prepare them to go on to have the best chances in life. We like to laugh, talk, read, discover, create, make, explore, tell stories, look after each other and our environment and make a positive difference. Children and families that join All Saints and the staff that choose to work here thrive. Our strong culture and well- established ethos we have created is underpinned by our school values of Love, belonging, faith, perseverance, respect & honesty.

We live out our vision and values in our everyday decisions and relationships; in how we encourage all and our approach & outlook to life.

As you can imagine this isn’t always an easy task but the commitment and hard work of everyone helps immensely and it is something deeply appreciate. All Saints is a popular school and our families appreciate the high standards we have; support and services we offer. As a whole school community we are continually developing and discovering more about ourselves.

‘God, who began the good work within us, will continue his work until it is finished.’ Philippians 1:6

We hope that our website will keep you informed, up to date with events and school news as well as showing you a little bit of what we represent, what matters to us and the type of school we are.
