Aspire not to have more, but to be more... All are welcome in this place… Dear Parents and Carers, On behalf of the governors, staff and students, I am delighted to welcome you and your child to our College. All Hallows has a strong reputation for quality education and academic success. Education is our main purpose and we are very proud of the high standards achieved by our young people, and the excellent progress that each one of them makes, whatever their individual abilities, aptitudes or needs. Our successes are based upon the creation of a culture which provides opportunities for our students, and which helps them feel that they ‘can do’ and that no task is beyond them. We have a disciplined and well-ordered environment, which emphasises the joy and excitement of learning. Discipline is based upon the provision of stimulating lessons and activities to keep students working with interest, and we promote a climate in which it is the norm for students to be praised for behaviour and work. We seek to build a College in which mutual respect for all is lived out through everything we do. We welcome everyone, irrespective of ability or background. Above all, as a Catholic College we aim to create a community which enables children to grow in faith, and where every child or young person is known and valued. We welcome students from the Catholic community, the wider Christian community and also other faith backgrounds or none, where families are seeking the distinctive values and ethos of our College. Making the right choice for your child’s education is one of the most important decisions that you, as a parent or carer, will ever make and you are invited to consider making All Hallows your first choice. For further information on the current application process and admissions process, please refer to our website at www.allhallows.org.uk Mr Tim Beesley Principal

You are the light that gives light to the world. A city that is built on a hill cannot be hidden. And people don't hide a light under a bowl. They put the light on a lamp stand. Then the light shines for all the people in the house. In the same way, you should be a light for other people. Live so that they will see the good things you do. Live so that they will praise your Father in heaven.’ Matthew 5: 14-16

Education for the whole person... We provide an education for the whole person, for the formation of their human character through knowledge and skills, values and virtues to help them experience life in all its fullness. Our Catholic ethos is based on a strong emphasis on helping students to:
‘Aspire not to have more, but to be more’. Archbishop Oscar Romero
They do this through developing a love of learning, discovering, developing and sharing their talents, gifts and skills and by living the Christian values of: honorable purpose, respect, compassion, cooperation and stewardship.
To help our children and young people become the ‘light that gives light to the world’, we expect them all to:
Speak politely Have Respect Follow Instructions Never say never Engage positively We have the fantastic job of developing our youngsters into successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens. It is our job help them shine! Together, All Hallows staff, parents, carers, governors and, most importantly, the students themselves, make this happen.

Our five core values... Aspire not to have more but to be more Archbishop Oscar Romero
All Hallows Catholic College is committed to embracing Christian values and showing honourable purpose in daily living and learning. We are inspired by the words and actions of Jesus Christ, wanting to make learning in our community a personal encounter with God and a preparation for life in all its fullness. Our core values are:
Honourable Purpose We have faith in God and each other and act with integrity, ‘aspiring not to have more but to be more’. We show honourable purpose in all we do, taking responsibility for our actions by being reliable, honest, respectful, trustworthy and telling the truth. ‘I have come that you may have life and have it to the full’—John 10:10
Respect We welcome and show respect for the dignity and diversity of every person. It is our belief that ‘Every child and everyone matters’ to God because we are created in ‘His image and likeness’. ‘God created humankind in this image, in the image of God he created them.’—Gen 1:27
Compassion We show we love God and our neighbour by ‘treating each other in the way we would like to be treated ourselves’ and paying goodness forward with acts of kindness and charity. Compassion means we are humble and believe in being fair, showing forgiveness and allowing reconciliation. ‘Treat others as you would like people to treat you’—Luke 6:31
Co-operation We co-operate with God and each other to build community and a sense of pride in belonging within our College, our neighbourhood and in our world. We co-operate by ‘living simply, sustainably and in solidarity’ with all members of the human family and especially those who are poor.
‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and love your neighbour as yourself’—Luke 10:27
Stewardship We are accountable to God and each other. We show we ‘love God and our neighbour as ourselves’ by being good stewards of our gifts, talents and resources. We believe it is our duty to support everyone to reach their full potential in sustainable communities and to protect our world for future generations. ‘Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace—Peter 4.10

Balanced curriculum and learning pathways... A broad and balanced curriculum with a variety of learning pathways, is continually reviewed and developed to meet the needs of students in an ever-changing world. Three foundation secondary years in Years 7-9 provides access to a broad range of subjects before making ‘Option’ choices at the end of year 9, which in turn helps students to focus on the knowledge and skills required for future success. This stage is underpinned by an emphasis, not only on subject knowledge but developing learning skills, including literacy, numeracy, information technology and entrepreneurship. In addition to French, German and Spanish students have the opportunity to study Mandarin, a major language for international business. The curriculum is further enhanced through the international dimension, PSHCE learning days and opportunities for outdoor learning through our College farm and gardens. In Year 12 and 13 there is an extensive choice of A Levels and level 3 vocational courses to cater for all needs in our highly successful Sixth Form.
