All Saints Catholic College

We are again starting an academic year celebrating fantastic exam results as 70% of our Year 11 students achieved five A*-C GCSE grades including English and Mathematics. Also, all of our Year 13 students who wished to go to university secured a place at either their first or second choice university, and all of those wishing to begin work placements have done so successfully. We are working tirelessly to sustain this level of performance and to create a school that is truly second to none in the area. The College has been at the heart of this community for fifty years. We are proud of our Christian tradition which provides us with deep roots and gospel values that the world is crying out for. Our mission is to be a Catholic College where every individual is highly valued and where care and concern for others is central to our work. All our pupils are expected to achieve their potential and become equipped for adult life and able to make a full contribution to society. This mission is articulated in the phrase "What I have I give" - the school motto. Small class sizes and systematic monitoring procedures are ensuring that teachers are focusing closely on pupil progress. We have a superb range of extra-curricular activities including a wide variety of trips and visits. At our last Ofsted inspection in December 2012, inspectors reported that All Saints Catholic College is a Good school and that "the large majority of students in all age groups make good progress". Here at All Saints Catholic College we expect the highest standards of behaviour from our students and we encourage them to be self-disciplined and well behaved at all times. High standards of uniform and appearance set the tone for all that we seek to achieve here and your support in this area is crucial if we are to further build our community. Pupils are proud to be here at ASCC and understand that when they wear our uniform they are our ambassadors. High attendance is another vital ingredient if your child is to be successful and new government legislation means that I can no longer authorise term time requests for leave of absence, including family holidays. We never take for granted the fact that it is our partnership with parents that is crucial to our success. We need to work together to ensure that your child can truly fulfil their potential. If there are any issues that you would like to raise, or if you encounter any frustrations with your child's progress, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us. You have our assurance that your concerns will be taken seriously. Thank you in anticipation for that support.
