All Saints' C of E Primary School

[EduCativ]

Our unique school, spread across two campuses, has an ethos built around our core values of respect, trust, and pride. We value and celebrate diversity and enjoy close links with our local church. We have a diverse school community with staff and families from all faiths and backgrounds. Our inclusive and nurturing ethos provides every child with the opportunity for academic, creative, and sporting success. This works in tandem with our commitment to developing every aspect of the child, creating aspirational, confident, and caring citizens of the future.
Our high expectations for every pupil, have consistently achieved strong academic results, where progress, opportunity, and challenge are the foundation for every pupil’s curriculum. Our staff team is dedicated to providing a safe, calm and purposeful school environment, offering a wealth of outdoor space and the latest technology in our bright, modern classrooms.
As a school, we continue on our journey forward into the next 125 years, our next school-wide initiative begins in earnest in September, as we work together to become a UNICEF Rights Respecting School. For prospective parents, we hope this website will give you an overview of our school. For current parents, we hope you will find useful information, as well as keeping you up to date with school life. We hold open days throughout the year, where I or one of my Assistant Headteachers will take time to show you around, where you can see our ethos and values alive in every part of the school.
Children are eligible for Nursery the term after their third birthday, and we have intakes in September, January and April. Make sure you apply a term before their 3rd birthday, however, we accept applications from birth, we will keep it on file until we are reviewing admissions for the term they would be starting in.

At All Saints' C of E Primary School, our curriculum aims to make learning: challenging, relevant, creative, and fun through a series of topics. These topics are inquiry-based set around a central question that feeds into several sub-questions. English, Maths, and ICT links are then built into planning to provide opportunities to practice skills in a range of curricular areas. Topics are set by year group to make them relevant and changed each term.
All the subject skills are designed to give children first-hand experiences through ‘hands-on’ activities, which stimulate learning and celebrate achievement, providing a range of approaches to meet the needs of all individuals. The phonics and reading scheme in Key Stage 1 we follow is Read Write Inc.
All schools are overseen by a Governing Body that acts similarly to the board of a company. The task of the governing body is to govern the school, focusing on the core functions of providing strategic leadership, holding the Headteacher to account, and making sure the school’s money is spent efficiently. Governors also have an important role in maintaining the distinctive Christian ethos of the school and developing new and existing links with All Saints’ Church and Southwark Diocese. The Headteacher has delegated authority from the governing body to follow the strategic vision and take the day-to-day decisions that are required to run the school.
All Saints’ governing body normally meets around six times a year as a whole group. The Headteacher presents a report at each meeting, informing the Governors about the recent events and activities in the school in general and progress against targets about the school’s development plan.
Some of the work of the governing body is delegated to committees to deal with in between main meetings to focus on specific aspects of the work of governors. This allows for issues needing greater attention to be discussed in more detail. Reports on these committee meetings are received from the Chairs of each committee at each meeting of the full governing body.
All parents and guardians with a child at the school are welcome to get involved with PTFA. PTFA aims to raise additional funds to provide facilities and equipment not normally covered by the school budget, to enhance the learning and happiness of the children at All Saints’ C of E Primary School. We do this by organizing different fundraising events and activities throughout the school year.
The pupil premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities and to close the gaps between them and their peers. The Government in England has provided additional funding of approximately £150 million per annum since 2013/14 to improve PE and school sport in primary schools. Schools receive PE and sport premium funding based on the number of pupils in years 1 to 6. The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools. OFSTED will ensure that schools spend this funding carefully and that it leads to raised standards and opportunities in PE and school sport for all children throughout the primary phase.
