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.

An inclusive, harmonious community reaching out to those in need and serving the common good in the wider community.

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.

The teachers genuinely care about our education and wellbeing. (Yr12)

I think that what makes All Hallows different is that everyone is welcoming and no one is discriminated against. (Yr 8)

All Hallows offers a number of opportunities to learn different languages, such as Mandarin, French, Spanish and German. It is exciting to be able to have these different options.

(Yr 9)

I love being able to work with the animals on our College farm. It keeps me calm. (Yr 9)I

When I was at primary school, I wasn’t very confident. All Hallows has really helped me come out of my shell and try new things. (Yr 8)

Have the courage to go against the tide of current values which do not conform to the path of Jesus.
