All Saints' College Bathurst is a co-educational Christian college in the Anglican tradition. Day students are catered for from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 and boarders from Years 7 to 12. With a total enrolment of approximately 530 students, this beautifully situated College is one of the most successful schools in the state, both academically and in co-curricular activities. Located at Bathurst, NSW, All Saints' College has the benefit of country living but is still readily accessible to Sydney and major centers. All Saints' College seeks to nurture, encourage, challenge, and educate girls and boys in a vibrant, caring, pastoral environment. In 1873 Canon Thomas Smith of All Saints' Cathedral, Bathurst enthused Bishop Marsden with the idea of opening an Anglican College in the city. On January 27th, the Bathurst Church of England College opened its doors to seven students under the headmastership of Henry Kemmis. Renamed All Saints' College, the College officially came into being in mid-1875 when it moved to its permanent site on Piper and Hope Streets' corner after a successful fundraising campaign and the Bishop's donation of land. In 1878 Mr. Edwin Bean, the Senior Classics Master of Sydney Grammar, succeeded Henry Kemmis. During the eleven years of his headmastership, the College developed into a very significant and typically independent College. The scholarly Bean produced the badge and motto, designed the uniform, commenced the Bathurstian, introduced the prefect system, cadets, debating, dancing, and carpentry, and opened a Prep College library.

All Saints' College is one of Australia's leading independent Anglican coeducational Pre-Kindergarten – Year 12 schools, located in Perth's southern suburbs. Founded in 1981, we retain our youth's freshness and energy while also being firmly and confidently established in Perth's independent educational environment. The College is a unique provider of outstanding educational programs. Our dynamic learning environment encourages the pursuit of personal academic excellence. At the same time, our dedicated staff, innovative educational programs, responsive leadership structure, and excellent physical resources support each student in fulfilling their potential. At All Saints', opportunities abound for our students, within and beyond the classroom! A dynamic and innovative Pre-K to 12 College, ASC enjoys a national reputation for providing holistic education and, specifically, for achieving outstanding academic results in a friendly, caring, and supportive environment. Recognizing the African proverb that it takes a village to raise a child, All Saints' College enjoys a strong sense of community: our dedicated staff and diverse student population celebrate parent, family, and community involvement. As part of this, and in keeping with our motto – To serve with wisdom and courage – our students recognize and embrace their responsibilities to society, being active contributors to their community in many practical ways during their school years and beyond. Set on a beautifully treed and landscaped campus of 19 hectares, approximately 10 minutes' drive from the Perth CBD, All Saints' is renowned for its world-class facilities, including our state-of-the-art technologies, our indoor Aquatics and Sports Centres, and our breath-taking new Centre for Performing Arts, to name but a few. Further, our students enjoy the fact that all our facilities are on-site and thus readily accessible, not only during school hours but also beyond the school day via our extensive co-curricular activity and learning program. There is just so much to see and enjoy at ASC – I invite you to visit and experience it for yourself. Whether you choose to spend a day on campus with our students, or you prefer to tour our grounds and facilities initially, you will – I am sure – feel right at home, and enjoy the warmth of our exceptional community. In partnership with its families, community, and the Anglican Church, All Saints' College empowers boys and girls to develop their potential, becoming confident, compassionate and committed to valuable service to society. Our Vision Making a positive difference in our world. Our Values Integrity: acting with moral strength and grace, guided by humility and compassion. Courage: to be our best selves. Respect: for self and others, community and environment Now well into our fourth decade, All Saints' College is pleased to present Our Future – All Saints' College's Strategic Plan (2014 to 2018). The strategic directions contained in this Plan describe the carving of an exciting path for our College as we – in partnership with families and former students, the Anglican Church, and the wider community – build upon All Saints' highly successful past, including a reputation for excellence in academic achievement and pastoral care in a coeducational setting, graduates of whom we are most proud, a dedicated team of staff, and excellent campus and facilities, and a highly supportive and engaged community. The Plan consists of five interdependent Goals and a range of Objectives to help us achieve these goals. As indicated (overleaf), the Plan will see the College realize an array of exciting initiatives from which all members of our community – and, significantly, our students – will benefit. This roadmap for the College's future has evolved from an extensive educational research and community consultation process. The College appreciates the input of students, staff, parents, Old Saints, the College's Leadership Team and Board as we create a future for the College of which all community members can feel proud and have a strong sense of ownership. One of Perth's seven independent Anglican schools – the only one coeducational – All Saints' was founded in 1981. Beginning with approximately 100 students in Years 7 and 8, junior and senior years were steadily added, and the College now enjoys a student population of nearly 1,350, from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12. The College has had five Principals: Dr. Eric Speed (1981-1987), Mr. Anthony London (1987-2000), Rev Peter Laurence (2001-2002), Dr. Geoffrey Shaw (2003-2011), and Ms. Belinda Provis, from May 2013 until the present. (Father Braden Short held the position of Acting Principal in 2012/2013.) Proudly Anglican, All Saints' College is also a multi-faith community – we welcome families from all cultures, backgrounds, and religions. (The College Chapel on campus is also the Parish Church of Bull Creek-Leeming, which many College families attended.) The Pre-Kindergarten to Year 2 early learning program is founded on the Early Years Learning Framework's social constructivist theory. The curriculum content is responsive to the children's interests and is based on a combination of the National Australian Curriculum and the Western Australian Curriculum Framework. A balanced approach to teaching and learning, using play-based pedagogy to engage and empower children, and explicit, intentional teaching is used to focus on literacy, numeracy, and scientific investigation skills. Learning occurs through sustained shared thinking, active investigation, listening, and responding to children and making learning visible. From 3 years of age, our children are encouraged to wonder, ask questions, and explore to strive to understand the world around them. This holistic approach to developing the whole child provides firm foundations for success in the life-long journey of learning. This approach includes strategies to develop effective communication, creativity, problem-solving and thoughtful risk-taking to enable our children to become increasingly independent and confident learners as appropriate. The outdoor environment is highly valued to extend and develop thinking and investigation skills in all learning areas. We place importance on providing a rich and vibrant program and have specialist teachers from Pre-Kindergarten. Close observation of children's development in social, physical, and academic growth enables teachers to assess student learning and devise learning programs that best suit individual children. Standardized, non-standardized tests and work samples analysis also provides useful data to inform teaching and learning programs. We work in partnership with parents who are regularly informed of their child's progress. The Junior School focuses on providing opportunities to challenge and inspire all students, and we offer targeted intervention to students who experience difficulty with literacy and numeracy. Information and Communication Technology is a tool integrated into the curriculum with extensive use of Interactive Whiteboards from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 4, touch screen computers in the Early Childhood classrooms, iPads in Year 1 and Year 2. ICT is used as a powerful medium to communicate and record student learning in the early years and bring the outside world into the classroom. Throughout the Junior School from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6, there is a continuity and progression of skills and concepts with clear development lines, with the overriding emphasis on making learning engaging so that we engender a life-long enthusiasm and love of learning. At All Saints' College, our primary aim is to encourage each student to be a self-confident, inquiring, tolerant, cheerful, well-rounded person with an independent perspective on diverse, profound, and pertinent issues future. To this end, our learning programs are deliberately constructed to be student-centered, differentiated, embedded in technology, challenging, and rigorous. Individual pathways are planned, monitored, and assessed so that each student's learning needs are met in an environment that is supportive and affirming. The majority of our students are tertiary bound. The College offers students a broad range of curriculum options and guidance and support to achieve personal academic goals and aspirations. Varied and engaging pathways are offered for those seeking alternative pathways to TAFE or employment. All Saints' College attracts and retains high-quality teachers, further enhancing its firm academic profile. Our teachers are consistently and purposefully professionally developed to deliver diverse and superior teaching and learning practices. All Saints' College students experience academic challenge and rigor throughout their time at the College. Extension programs have evolved from 'best practice' gifted and talented programs. Click here for an explanation of the College's 'Achieve, Challenge and Excel' ('ACE') program. Support classes are offered to those students who require academic help and one-on-one, small group encouragement and guidance. All Learning Areas and courses across each year group offer academic support in either before-school or after-school sessions. For those students who desire the support of a supervised homework program, our Homework Café operates Monday to Thursday until 5.00 pm. This is a structured and quiet place where students can work to secure knowledge that a teacher is available for help and guidance. View full school

We promote Christian values as we believe they provide an invaluable foundation for life. All Saints strive to develop the closest possible partnerships with childrens’ parents, All Saints’ Church, and the wider community. For a copy of the school's motto, mission, and ethos statement, School have a long history of encouraging parental involvement in all aspects of our children's development as, not only is it proven to be the most important factor in a child’s future success, but we believe it plays a vital part in creating All Saints’ family atmosphere. The reconstituted governing body is clear about the strengths and weaknesses of the school. Governors have worked closely with the London Diocesan Board for Schools to commission a review of their work. As a result, they have increased their skills and plans to hold the school to account for its effectiveness. They have a clear handle on pupils’ performance and the steps needed to improve further. Governors challenge leaders about the outcomes for different groups of pupils and records of minutes show a thorough and urgent approach for the school to move forward quickly. The school has robust systems in place to secure the well-being of pupils, including those in the early year's provision. Inspection evidence confirms that when concerns arise, leaders deal with them thoroughly. For example, in 2016, when concerns were raised about safeguarding arrangements linked to pupils leaving the school, measures were taken immediately, and leaders commissioned an audit. The review confirmed that safeguarding arrangements are effective. The audit led to the leadership team reviewing and strengthening risk assessments, particularly about vulnerable pupils. Other minor adjustments included improving supervision in the playground. The school diligently carries out investigative checks of all staff before employment, and all checks meet requirements. The school is up to date with recent statutory guidance such as ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education, September 2016. As a result, the staff knows the steps to take if there are safeguarding concerns in real about or a member of staff. Training is comprehensive and covers all of the key priorities related to sexual exploitation, children missing education, safer recruitment, and the ‘Prevent’ duty. Senior leaders ensure that they review these safeguarding matters regularly and provide updates. Designated staff undertake appropriate training. They ensure that safeguarding information is prominently displayed around the school for pupils should they need to talk to someone about their concerns. The school curriculum provides pupils with good coverage on how to stay safe. OrganisOrganizedops that include drama and visiting speakers, increase pupils’ awareness of how to keep safe online and protect themselves from abuse. Teachers make sure that there are good opportunities for pupils to practice their writing and reading skills. For example, pupils carry out research assignments and show that they can collate materials from different sources accurately. Furthermore, weekly focused writing in the ‘writers workshop’ across the school, and the ‘read and tell’ approach in Year 1, have begun to make a difference to pupils’ writing. Teachers support pupils well to write at length and structure their work. There is a good emphasis on pupils using a cursive style and writing. Evidence shows that the quality of pupils’ written work is much improved but there is more to do about spelling, and using technical skills accurately. Children enter Reception with skills below those typically expected for their age group. Children have better skills in physical development but there are weaknesses in their communication, literacy, and language. Nevertheless, by the end of Reception, most make good progress in all areas of the early year's curriculum because the quality of teaching and learning is purposeful and stimulating. Good-quality teaching and high expectations of what children can achieve ensure that children achieve well each year. The school still has more work to do to ensure that teaching is of consistently high quality for pupils to make rapid progress. This is to enable pupils to meet the demands of a more challenging curriculum and national tests. Leaders have done much to raise expectations of what pupils can achieve, and evidence indicates that pupils are now making better progress. These are linked to teachers’ good classroom management and pupils’ positive attitudes to learning. During whole-class teaching, not all teaching assistants work well with pupils. This affects the quality of support and helps that pupils need to make better progress. Pupils routinely take part in self-assessment, which helps them to identify how well they understand the skills they are learning. They adopt a mature approach when discussing their work. However, teachers do not habitually reinforce editing, drafting, and proofreading to develop pupils’ writing skills. As a result, pupils do not readily identify errors in their work until they receive feedback. Teachers are not always consistent in checking that different groups of pupils have a good grasp of specific skills before moving on to the next stage of learning. View full school

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.

All Saints is an average-sized voluntary aided primary school. Reflecting its locality, pupils come from a range of ethnic and religious backgrounds. Around 73% come from Christian backgrounds. The largest other religious group represented is Muslim (10%). The percentage who speak English as an additional language is above average. The percentage with special educational needs and those for whom pupil premium funding, due to social disadvantage, is received are below average. The Headteacher has been in post for just over a year and the RE subject leader for less than half a term. All Saints’ school is explicit in its commitment to following the example of Jesus. Its service is encapsulated by its new motto, ‘Inspired by Christ, reaching out to all, being the best we can be’. This motto has been introduced recently and is reshaping school life and practice well. The school’s values, whilst being values shared by many, are explicitly expressed in Christian terms and underpinned by biblical examples. These values are friendship, respect, perseverance, forgiveness, honesty, and fairness. Most pupils understand their importance in school life and some can relate these to life outside of school. Thus, the school focuses on preparing pupils academically and personally to be active, caring, and respectful people. Pupils begin school with around average attainment and leave having made good progress. Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development is very well supported in the curriculum, in worship, and through extra-curricular clubs and trips. Pupils respond well to this provision. Pupils’ behavior is exemplary. It reflects the school’s Christian ethos very well. Pupils’ attendance is good because they feel safe and cared for in school. As befits its Christian foundation, the school works well with families where a pupil’s attendance or behavior may be causing concern. Pupils are known as individuals, and consequently feel valued, irrespective of their background, ability, or aptitude. One pupil said, ‘We all get on well. The school respects each other. Pupils make good progress over time to reach standards in reading, writing, and mathematics that are above average by the end of Year 2.Pupils achieve well from their different starting points in Key Stage 2. In the 2014 Year, 6 pupils reached above-average standards. Pupils have made strong gains in mathematics in the past year because of changes the school has introduced. Teachers have high expectations of what pupils can achieve in Key Stages 1 and 2. Marking shows pupils what they do well and how they can improve their work. Pupils’ behavior is outstanding as they have extremely positive attitudes to learning. They are cared for very well and feel completely safe in school. The new headteacher has made an impressive start in improving the school and in working successfully with staff, parents, governors, and pupils. The governing body knows the school well and provides a good level of support and challenge. Relationships are very positive and teachers manage pupils well, motivating them to work hard and productively. Learning is purposeful in Key Stages 1 and 2. Teachers make activities interesting for pupils and mainly have high expectations of them. For example, Year 4 pupils were drafting a letter to a medical professor explaining what they had learned about blood as part of their work on molecules. They had made large-scale models of molecules to represent gases, solids, and liquids. The gases had lids on the containers to stop them from floating away. Teachers use a range of effective approaches, including questioning, to engage pupils and to extend their learning. Books show that pupils make good progress over time. The regular marking shows pupils how well they have done and helps them to improve their work. Work is usually set at the right level for pupils. Occasionally it is too easy for the ablest pupils, particularly when writing. Teaching assistants effectively support groups and individual pupils. They are trained well and work closely with teachers. Teaching in the early years requires improvement because children do not acquire the knowledge and skills they need, especially in writing, quickly enough. At All Saints’ we enable children to reach their full potential, achieving excellence, whilst nurturing spiritual and emotional development. Inspired by Christ and reaching out to all, we are a truly inclusive school and meet the needs of all our learners. View full school
