FROM OUR ACTING HEADTEACHER Mr Paul Walton
A very warm welcome back to All Saints for the start of another academic year. I hope our students have enjoyed a restful summer and are returning refreshed and ready for all that the year ahead has to offer. It was a much-needed break for staff and students alike, particularly given the way the last academic year drew to a close, with an Ofsted inspection landing in the final two weeks, and during an amber heat warning at that. At the time of writing, the report has not yet been published and remains under embargo. What I can share is that we were delighted with the judgements and verbal feedback provided at the end of the second day and we very much look forward to sharing the full report with students and families once it has been released. A massive thank you must go to our students, who were impeccably behaved throughout the inspection period and were a real credit to the school, and to our parents and carers, who gave such overwhelmingly positive feedback through the parent surveys. Your support made all the difference. We are delighted to welcome our new Year 7 families into the All Saints community, and we cannot wait to see them settle in and flourish. At the other end of the school, we wish our Year 11 students all the very best as they begin their final year with us and prepare for their GCSEs. As I write, we are awaiting this summer’s GCSE results. By the time you read this, our students will have received them, and I very much hope they are celebrating their successes and reflecting proudly on a fantastic journey with us. We hope, too, that they have secured their first-choice college, sixth form or apprenticeship places, and we wish every one of them the very best of luck in the next leg of their educational and employment journey. I am also pleased to welcome a number of new colleagues across a range of departments. Following another excellent year of recruitment, I am delighted to report that we have a specialist subject teacher in every single lesson. We have once again added vital experience to specific teams, and our new staff are genuinely looking forward to working with your children over the course of this year. Of course, we are looking forward to welcoming you back into school at the following events: Year 8 Welcome Back and Elev:8 residential trip information evening on 7th September; Year 10 Welcome Back and Introduction to GCSEs evening on 23rd September; Year 7 Welcome to All Saints evening on 24th September; and Year 9 Welcome Back and pathways information evening on 1st October. Finally, for those of you with younger children in Year 5 or 6 and those with family or friends whose children are of this age, please note that the All Saints Open Evening and Mornings will be taking place in September and October. Please see more details on our website. Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support.
Elev:8 Takes on the X FACTOR As part of the year-long Elev:8 programme, the Music Department has been transforming classrooms into vibrant pop band studios, giving students a unique opportunity to experience music performance in a fun, creative, and engaging way. Students embraced the challenge by spinning the wheel and being assigned a well-known pop “banger” to learn by heart. Each group not only mastered their song but also created choreography, resulting in performances that were energetic, imaginative, and truly worthy of a Wembley stage.
The culmination of this exciting project took place on Thursday, when students performed in front of a judging panel consisting of Mr Walton, Miss Tyce, and special guest judge Tre Lowe — known from The Apprentice and as a multiplatinum selling artist. Their expertise and feedback added an extra level of excitement and professionalism to the event. The winning group earned an incredible prize: the opportunity to record their track at the renowned Livingston Studios. This iconic studio has hosted worldfamous artists including The 1975, Burna Boy, Björk, Kanye West, Sam Smith, and Muse — making it a truly inspiring reward for our talented students.
The Elev:8 programme is rooted in a clear national and school-level need to boost student engagement during the early secondary years. Elev:8 is designed as a proactive response to these challenges — re-engaging students through creativity, collaboration, and performance. Projects like the pop band challenge provide students with memorable, high-energy learning experiences that build confidence, teamwork, and a stronger connection to school.
This initiative represents a powerful example of how enrichment can support both wellbeing and academic success. A brilliant celebration of talent, teamwork, and creativity — well done to all involved!
Curriculum Enhancement Day
Students enjoyed an exciting and enriching Curriculum Enhancement Day, with a wide range of activities designed to inspire creativity, teamwork and curiosity beyond the classroom. In school, students took part in Team Challenge activities and worked together to solve problems with the Happy Puzzle Company, developing communication, resilience and collaboration skills in a fun and engaging way. Across London, students explored a variety of cultural and educational experiences. Visits included the Science Museum, HMS Belfast, Kew Gardens and the Wallace Collection, giving students opportunities to deepen their learning through history, science, art and nature. Other groups enjoyed a screening of Frankenstein alongside Spoken Word Poetry workshops, while students at the Institut Français experienced French language and culture first-hand
A visit to the Bread Factory offered a fascinating insight into food production and careers in industry, and students at Longridge Activity Centre challenged themselves through outdoor adventure activities and team-building exercises. The day was a fantastic opportunity for students to learn in new environments, build confidence and create lasting memories with their peers.
Curriculum Enhancement Day
Chess Club Success
Chess Club is something I personally benefited from as a secondary school pupil. The strategy, creativity, and skill involved in chess are qualities from which all young people can benefit. Beyond the game itself, chess also supports valuable social and emotional development. Learning to be gracious in both victory and defeat, solving problems in challenging situations, and showing respect for an opponent are all important life skills that extend far beyond the chessboard. Above all, it is also great fun. When considering the extra-curricular opportunities we wanted to offer this year, Chess Club was at the top of the list. Knowing that chess boards were gathering dust in classrooms across the school felt like a missed opportunity. Although attendance was initially slow to build, word quickly spread, and pupils soon began regularly attending sessions in the LRC every Wednesday lunchtime. One of the greatest joys of the club has been the wide variety of pupils who attend each week. Some arrived having never played before, while others were more than capable of giving the teachers a serious challenge. What has been truly special, however, is the atmosphere created by the pupils themselves. Everyone has been supportive and encouraging, helping one another to learn, develop, and improve their game. As a teacher, this has been wonderful to witness and has reinforced the idea that the club is about far more than simply playing chess. It has become a place where pupils can build positive, respectful relationships through a shared enjoyment of the game.
The cross-curricular benefits of chess are widely recognised, and the club offers pupils much more than an enjoyable lunchtime activity. Regular play helps to develop concentration, problem-solving, logical thinking, and strategic planning. Pupils learn to analyse situations carefully, think ahead, and make thoughtful decisions under pressure — all skills that support learning across a range of subjects. Chess also promotes patience, resilience, and good sportsmanship, helping pupils to grow into well-rounded individuals and supporting the school’s mission to ensure fullness of life for all young people. Due to the success of the club and the enthusiasm it has inspired across the school, we organised our first chess competition during Half-Term 5. Open to pupils from all year groups, the tournament began with matches organised by year before progressing to knockout rounds. Year 7 pupils competed against Year 11 pupils, and the standard of play throughout was incredibly strong. We are still awaiting the crowning of our first ASCC Chess Champion, but the competition has already been a resounding success and certainly will not be our last. Looking ahead, we hope to expand these opportunities even further by exploring competitions with other schools across the local borough and, in time, perhaps across the city as a whole.

A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM
Almost immediately after the school musical, the Performing Arts Department embarked on All Saints’ first fully staged Shakespeare production. A Midsummer Night’s Dream was the obvious choice: it’s funny, has flexible casting, and gave us the opportunity to add a chorus of fairies. It also gave our Scenic Design Club an entirely new world to create –a challenge they always relish. With the decision made, and the date firmly established in the school calendar, a script was prepared and auditions quickly arranged. We were greatly impressed by the standard of the
Returning after half term, we felt much more confident and could begin to see the production taking shape. Lines had been learned and blocking completed, leaving us two weeks to add the distinctive All Saints sparkle to the show. Rehearsals became increasingly detailed as we refined every moment — Mr Parker and I apologise to the cast for the number of times they heard the word ‘again’. Alongside this, a group of students rehearsed a programme of madrigals and secular songs contemporary with A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which they performed as the audience arrived.

INSPIRING FUTURES
YEAR 10 VISIT OXFORD UNIVERSITY
Twenty-four Year 10 students enjoyed an inspiring visit to Oxford University this June, gaining valuable insight into university life and the opportunities that higher education can offer.
The day began with an engaging session exploring university pathways and the application process, helping to demystify higher education and introduce students to the wide range of opportunities available, from leading red-brick universities to Oxford and Cambridge. Students also had the chance to hear directly from current Oxford undergraduates during a Q&A session, asking questions about academic study, student life and future aspirations. A highlight of the visit was a guided tour of Oriel College, one of Oxford's oldest and most historic colleges. Students explored the beautiful surroundings, learned about centuries-old traditions and enjoyed lunch in the college's magnificent dining hall. Surrounded by portraits of distinguished alumni, one observant student was delighted to recognise Sir Thomas More as "the man from History GCSE!" The group also discovered Oxford's colourful carnation tradition, with students wearing white carnations for their first examination, pink for intermediate exams and red for their final papers, symbolising the completion of their studies.
In the afternoon, students visited Keble College, affectionately known as the "lasagne buildings" because of its distinctive striped brickwork. The college's unique blend of Victorian and contemporary architecture offered a different perspective on university life. A visit to the Junior Common Room gave students a glimpse into the social side of university, with table tennis, pool tables and lively discussions about student life beyond the lecture theatre. The day concluded with an Oxplore workshop, where students were encouraged to think critically, debate big ideas and tackle challenging questions in a university-style setting. The visit was a fantastic opportunity for students to broaden their horizons, raise their aspirations and see first-hand that higher education can be both academically challenging and personally rewarding. Most importantly, it encouraged our students to imagine themselves in these environments and recognise that such opportunities are within their reach. We are extremely proud of the way our Year 10 students represented All Saints Catholic College throughout the visit, demonstrating curiosity, enthusiasm and maturity at every stage of the day.
HANDEL’S MESSIAH My favourite memory from the Schola's 5th anniversary concert? It wasn't the applause. It wasn't catching up with choir alumni after years. It wasn't getting lost in the labyrinthine backrooms of Cadogan Hall. It wasn't even the thrilling Hallelujah Chorus, wonderful as that was.
We also began the day with a masterclass from our soprano soloist, Charlie Drummond. On the very stage we would perform on later, Charlie coached Loza, Margaux and Zara through their songs while the rest of the choir listened. It was a wonderful opportunity for the students to learn from another outstanding performer and gain a different perspective.
It was the moment we brought the alumni together with the current choir for the first time, in the chapel where it all started. The Schola had been rehearsing for months and

The students sang brilliantly through the many twists and turns that Messiah demands, culminating in a thrilling rendition of ‘Worthy is the Lamb’ and the ‘Amen’. After an encore of last year’s James MacMillan commission, we took our bows.

Carlota Rubio, Paige Goldsmith and Thomas Bedwell are continuing in the performing arts, studying to become performers or set designers. Katerina Belovintseva is heading to the Royal Welsh College to begin a degree in composition, while Ianne Lavapie is studying music at King’s College London, singing in its Chapel Choir and developing a freelance singing career.
I’m so proud of what we have accomplished so far and am really looking forward to the next five years. By Mr Bick, Director of the Schola Cantorum
THE PROTO-MAKER CHALLENGE AT IMPERIAL COLLEGE A group Year 8 pupils took part in the exciting Proto-Maker Challenge, an innovative programme designed to develop creativity, problem-solving and design skills through realworld invention. Working in teams, students were challenged to develop solutions to some of the world's most pressing issues, including environmental sustainability, life underwater, fast fashion and equality. Over a series of workshops at the Makerspace and in school, students followed the full design process: researching problems, generating ideas, designing prototypes and presenting their final inventions. Along the way, students learned about design thinking, 3D printing, laser cutting, modelling, prototyping and project management, while also developing valuable teamwork, communication and presentation skills. The programme introduced students to a range of STEAM careers and gave them the opportunity to work alongside Imperial College London undergraduate students, professional designers and industry experts. Students also experienced the cutting-edge Makerspace environment, where innovation and creativity come together. The challenge culminated in students pitching their inventions to their peers, with the winning team progressing to compete in the grand finale. As well as certificates, prizes and goody bags, the competition offers the exciting possibility of winning a 3D printer for the school.
When I was a member of the Tees Valley Youth Orchestra, I received an award just before leaving for university for constantly finding myself in the luggage compartments of coaches, trying to work out the best way to fit a full orchestra’s worth of percussion into the available space. It was an experience that I felt every musician should have and, with the growing confidence and skill of our Symphony Orchestra, we decided it was time to take them on tour. The brief to the coach company was simple: how far could we travel from London with one driver in a single day? We settled on Mannheim and Heidelberg as our base from which to explore the beautiful Rhineland region, with an itinerary that included palaces, concerts in churches and a performance on a bandstand in a beautiful park.
SCHOLA TOUR 2026
By Dr Slimings
Given the distance we had to travel, our journey began with an early 5am departure from All Saints Catholic College. Despite the early start, excitement was high as students arrived, checked in and carefully loaded their instruments onto the coach. With 43 students and six members of staff, we set off for Dover. The ferry crossing went smoothly, and we then settled in for the seven-hour drive across France and Germany. Mr Mbullu’s quiz provided some welcome entertainment along the way, while members of the Schola warmed up their voices with some karaoke at the back of the coach. After a long day of travelling, we arrived safely at our hotel and settled in ahead of the first full day of the tour. Heidelberg is home to Germany’s oldest university, set above the river in one of the country’s most historic and picturesque cities. Students spent the morning exploring in small groups, visiting cultural sites and enjoying some time in the city before we travelled to our first concert venue in Speyer. One of the most memorable aspects of the tour was the warmth and generosity of the people we encountered, and this was particularly evident at the Gedächtniskirche in Speyer. With its impressive architecture, striking ceiling and beautiful stained glass, the church provided a wonderful setting for our first performance. Students enjoyed a guided tour of the church before having some time to explore Speyer. The exceptionally hot weather presented an additional challenge. With temperatures reaching 42 degrees outside and 36 degrees inside the church, rehearsing and performing was particularly demanding. The students responded superbly, showing resilience and professionalism despite the effect of the heat on reeds, strings, metal instruments and even the timpani. Their efforts were rewarded with a warm reception from an appreciative audience, whose generous donations were enough to buy an ice cream for every student after the concert – a very welcome end to a demanding but memorable first performance.
The following day, we travelled to Bruchsal Palace, where our students helped to lead Mass. The following day, we travelled to Bruchsal Palace, where our students helped to lead Mass. The Symphony Orchestra performed my arrangement of the St Anne’s Mass, while the Schola sang the service in German. The congregation were deeply impressed by the students’ performance, giving them a long standing ovation. Afterwards, students had the opportunity to practise their German while joining the congregation for refreshments in the palace courtyard. Having a history teacher — and accomplished oboe player — on tour was particularly valuable, with Mr Mbullu helping students explore the history of the palace. Our final concert took place the following afternoon at the bandstand in Herzogenriedpark, Mannheim. Performing outdoors presented its own challenges, from securing music against the wind to playing in the heat, but once again the students rose to the occasion. They attracted a sizeable audience who responded with warm and enthusiastic applause. The much-anticipated World Cup of Schola followed, with students competing in six challenges. More important than the competition itself was seeing the friendships that had developed throughout the tour and the way students supported one another. On the journey home, we presented an individual tour award to every student, recognising the contribution each had made to the success of the trip. Throughout the tour, the staff team saw the values of All Saints consistently reflected in this exceptional group of young people. Their resilience, responsibility, inquisitiveness and kindness made us immensely proud. Hearing so many students wishing for just one more day together was perhaps the greatest indication of the friendships formed, memories created and lasting impact of experiences such as these. Until next time — Alla prossima!
SPORTS DAY Despite having to adapt this year's Sports Day, it was a fantastic success, with pupils embracing the alternative format with enthusiasm, determination and excellent sportsmanship. Throughout the day, pupils took part in a range of activities including football, basketball, tug of war, and a variety of track and field events. Their energy, encouragement of one another and willingness to get involved made the event a memorable celebration of teamwork, resilience and achievement. A huge well done to all of our pupils and staff for making the day such a positive experience. The smiles, effort, medals and excitement captured in the photos truly tell the story of a brilliant Sports Day!
ACTIVITIES DAYS As the school year drew to a close, hundreds of students enjoyed our annual End of Term Rewards Trips, recognising their hard work, positive attitude and commitment throughout the year. Students had the opportunity to choose from a fantastic range of exciting experiences, including Chessington World of Adventures, Thorpe Park, LEGOLAND Windsor, SEA LIFE London, Hampton Court Palace, the Cutty Sark and Uber Boat, ArcelorMittal Orbit (Zip World), Gravity MAX, Gripped London, Bowling and Ice Skating, and Hyde Park Ice Skating. These annual rewards recognise the dedication, resilience and positive contributions of our students throughout the academic year and are always a highlight of the school calendar. A huge thank you to Miss Fulla for coordinating such a wide-ranging programme of activities, and to all of our staff accompanied the trips.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: HEAD GIRL & HEAD BOY I’m incredibly excited for the year ahead as Head Boy and feel proud to have the opportunity to lead and represent such a fantastic school. I’m especially looking forward to welcoming our new Year 7 students, meeting new parents and building relationships with students across every year group. I’m also excited to be involved in events such as Culture Day and Sports Day, helping to organise activities that bring everyone together and create great memories. Taking on this role is also a personal challenge for me. I used to be quite shy and sometimes found it difficult to communicate with new people. Becoming Head Boy gives me the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone, grow in confidence and inspire others to do the same.
LUKE E
I want to be a leader who listens, gets involved and makes a positive difference. Most of all, I hope to make this a year that everyone can be proud of.
I’m incredibly excited for the year ahead as Head Girl and feel proud to have the opportunity to represent our school community. My biggest aim is to make sure every student feels heard, valued and connected, regardless of their year group. I want to build stronger connections across the school by encouraging more student mentoring, giving older students the opportunity to support and inspire younger students. I believe this will help create a stronger sense of community and belonging. As someone who enjoys sport, I also understand how important it is for students to have something they can enjoy, be passionate about and use as an escape. I want to encourage opportunities for everyone to get involved. Most importantly, I want every student to have a voice. I hope to create more opportunities for ambassadors and students across all year groups to share their ideas and help shape our school.
ANNABELLE K
One of the highlights of the term came from the Year 7 boys’ football team, who reached the QPR Plate Final after a fantastic cup run. The final proved to be a thrilling contest, with the boys battling hard to secure a 2–2 draw at full time. With neither side able to be separated, the match went to penalties, where the drama continued into sudden death. Despite narrowly missing out on the trophy, the team demonstrated remarkable resilience, teamwork and determination throughout the competition and should be incredibly proud of their achievement in reaching the final. Basketball has once again been a major success story this term. Both the Under-14 girls’ and Under-14 boys’ teams enjoyed exceptional campaigns, culminating in both teams bringing home championship trophies. Their success reflects countless hours of training, dedication and teamwork. Throughout their respective competitions, both squads displayed excellent technical ability, resilience under pressure and a strong commitment to representing the school with pride. Winning trophies in both categories is a remarkable achievement and highlights the strength of basketball across the school. This term also saw All Saints represented at the London Youth Games, one of the capital’s most prestigious multi-sport events. Students competed across basketball, netball and volleyball, with table tennis also a potential addition to the school’s representation. Competing against some of the strongest schools and borough teams in London provided a fantastic opportunity for our students to showcase their talents on a larger stage.
SPORTS SUCCESS
The summer term has been another memorable one for All Saints’ sport, filled with outstanding performances, competitive spirit and impressive achievements across a range of competitions.
Particular praise must go to the girls’ volleyball team, who enjoyed an excellent run in the competition. The team progressed all the way to the quarter-finals, demonstrating great skill, commitment and teamwork before eventually being knocked out. Reaching the final eight teams was a significant accomplishment and reflects the continued growth and strength of volleyball within the school. In netball, All Saints was represented with distinction, and there was special recognition for Summer, whose outstanding performances earned her the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award. This individual accolade is a testament not only to her ability on court but also to her leadership, work ethic and positive contribution to her team throughout the competition. Beyond the medals, trophies and individual awards, the term has been characterised by students embracing opportunities, representing All Saints with pride and demonstrating the values of respect, determination and teamwork. Whether competing in local finals, borough competitions or city-wide events, our students have consistently shown excellent sportsmanship and a commitment to giving their best.
Congratulations to all students who have represented the school this term. Their achievements have provided many memorable moments and set a fantastic foundation for continued success in the year ahead.
MISS MILES
Joining the school in September 2026 our new Teacher of RE, tells us her vocational story and what her role at ASCC means to her
Q+A Why did you come and work at All Saints?
What hobbies and interests do you have?
I really wanted to work in a community that embraced all the different aspects of school life, and All Saint’s really shone in that sense! It’s been so exciting to see all of the different opportunities that students have in and outside of the classroom, as well as the positive relationships that staff have with each other and their students.
I enjoy doing lots of different things outside of my job, although none of them are particularly unique and interesting! I like to keep fit by going for runs, pretending I can dance by doing ‘step’ classes, and going for long walks and hikes when I’m back home in Yorkshire. I also enjoy reading – my favourite authors are the Brontë sisters, Madeleine Miller and Gerald Durrell. I also love a good quiz night
As an RE teacher, I also wanted to teach in a school that truly valued my subject, so it has been really amazing to join an RE team that is so committed to delivering a rigorous and enjoyable subject to all students. Tell us about your background and upbringing. I was very lucky to have grown up near the beautiful Yorkshire moors with my two older sisters and parents. At university, I studied Theology and Religious Studies, with a particular interest in biblical languages and feminist theology. My mum has always joked that I love school, so maybe it was no surprise to her that I decided to train to be a teacher straight after graduating. After two years of training to be a Religious Education teacher at a school in London, I returned to my home county of Yorkshire where I then worked as the KS3 coordinator of RE at a school in Wakefield – this is where I really learnt to love teaching! Having spent a year completing an MA at UCL’S Institute of Education, I am now so excited to be back in the RE classroom!
What is your role at ASCC? I am taking on the role of 2nd in charge of RE. Joining the RE team has been really great; everyone is so committed to their roles, creating the best learning experiences for students. What is your focus? My primary focus is making sure that students have the best time in RE, creating opportunities for discussion, challenge and reflective insight of themselves and the world around them. I am also really excited to collaborate with the RE team, and share ideas that bring great opportunities for both students and staff
