Dear Parents and Carers
The Year 12 and 13 Progress Evening for parents will take place on Wednesday 10th December from 15.45pm until 18.30pm; this will be conducted via in-person appointments at All Saints’ School, and students will be making bookings for timeslots for parents directly with their class teachers. The evening is an important opportunity to speak to your child’s teachers about the progress your child is making.
During the Evening- *Important Changes*
Before you attend the event, please make sure you have a copy of the times of your appointments. Your child will be making these appointments directly with their class teachers. On arrival at All Saints’, please make your way to the Dining Room in order to sign in. There will be a number of displays indicating the locations of different staff members. Please ensure that you are waiting at the correct teacher at the correct time. The appointments will be five minutes long and the appointment begins at the allotted time of booking. There will be a countdown. The appointment cannot be extended; when the school bell is sounded, the appointment will draw to a close.
These arrangements are somewhat of a departure from the historic, in-person Parents Evenings. In response to parental feedback about wait times and to support staff well-being, we are wanting to be more disciplined with the timing of appointments.
We realise that there may be occasions where conversations need to be continued; if this is the case, you can request a call back at the sign-in desk; this is to avoid appointment times becoming disorderly and inefficient. We would really appreciate parents and carers support with these arrangements.
Yours Faithfully
Mr C Hutchinson
Acting Deputy Head Teacher
A fantastic day at the All Saints’ Catholic Academy 2nd Careers Fair!
Over 20 businesses, universities, colleges, and degree apprenticeship specialists came together to inspire our students encouraging them to engage, interact, and ask the big questions about their futures.
A great success with outstanding behaviour, just as we expect from our incredible students.
A huge thank you to everyone involved for making the day such a valuable experience!
Over the moon to receive this email and certificate this week!

A wide range of subjects were discussed today as the Y10 geographers walked up Mount Vesuvius (P.E) at the top they received a guided tour focusing on the physical geography of the area, we also discussed our and Italy’s Catholic values (R.E) under a prayer and icon. Then in the afternoon we visited Pompeii to see the destruction Vesuvius caused in 79 AD (History), one of the highlights for the students was the theatre where they discussed their drama GCSE.
Year 10 students and staff have arrived in sunny Sorrento for the first day of the geography trip. A walk to the coastlines viewpoint and ice cream making demonstration were enjoyed by all!
On Friday 4th July, we had the great privilege of welcoming Bishop Patrick to celebrate our Golden Jubilee Mass, giving thanks for 50 years of education at All Saints’. We were joined by our local clergy, visitors from the Our Lady of Lourdes Trust and a representative body of staff past and present. The students were fantastic, and it was so wonderful to all come together as a community, to be and to share in the Body of Christ. We prayed for all who have been part of the All Saints’ family over the past 50 years and Bishop Patrick reminded us that today, more than ever, we were witnessing to being true Pilgrims of Hope in this Jubilee Year.
