Dear Parents/Carers

Year 10 – Sixth Form Open Evening at All Saints’

The school year is rapidly progressing, and as such we turn our focus to the future decisions which await our current Year 10 students. Considering this, our Sixth Form Open Evening will take place on Thursday 2^nd July, 3.45 p.m. to 6.30 p.m.

At this event, students will be able to find out more about the subjects available here at All Saints’ and to have follow-up discussions with their teachers, prior to the summer break. The intention is to allow students to have the time to focus their attention on making informed choices before they begin Year 11 and the subsequent revision programme in preparation for the Mock Examinations. The evening will provide an opportunity for parents, carers and students to talk to staff about specific subject details, such as the A’ Level/BTEC specifications and the various topics which are studied. In addition, there will be student-led tours of the school’s Sixth Form area.

We are also offering an ‘Introduction to All Saints Sixth Form’ presentation at two different times in the evening; this will cover the application process, general expectations and extracurricular opportunities.

Please follow the link to complete the brief form by Friday 26^th June, indicating your attendance and which presentation you are opting for.

Some of our current Year 12 students will be going to Lourdes in Year 13, where they will assist the needy in their Pilgrimage. These students will be fundraising at the open evening, so if you are able to support them, please bring some cash for refreshments.

We look forward to seeing you on 2nd July but if you have any questions in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me or the Sixth Form Administration Team via email sixthform@allsaints.notts.sch.uk

Year 11 will officially start their study leave today. They only need to come to school for the remainder of their exams. Please note that they must come in their full school uniform, not PE kit and must leave the school site after an exam. However, if a student needs to stay in school for another exam or due to school buses, study rooms will be provided.
Please see the below letter for more information.

We are so proud to be able to share the report for the recent CSI inspection. The report highlights all of the wonderful and inspiring elements of our Catholic community. Thank you to all staff, students and parents for the overwhelmingly positive comments and support!

2026 CSI Report

Nottinghamshire County Council is currently consulting on proposed changes to its discretionary support for faith-based school transport, which could have significant implications for our families and access to Catholic education.

These services are used by many of our pupils. For many families, they are essential; for others, they play an important role in maintaining access to Catholic education across our wider community.

The proposals could:

Reduce or remove some existing transport routes
Increase costs for families
Impact how pupils travel to Catholic schools

Even if your child does not use school transport, there may still be wider implications for access to Catholic education, sustaining pupil numbers and the long-term strength of our school community.

No final decision has been made but it is vital that as many families as possible share their views. Your response could support families across our schools and make a real difference to future access to Catholic education.

We strongly encourage you to take a few minutes and submit your response by Friday 12 June: Give your views

To find out more about the Council’s proposals please visit: Overview of options

If you have any questions, please contact the school office.

Such a wonderful and reverent celebration on Friday as our Year 11s came together for a Mass to celebrate their 5 years together and to prepare for the GCSE exams which start in earnest next week. We wish this wonderful group of students lots of luck in their exams starting next week!

It’s been a busy few weeks living out and forming our faith as a Catholic community, from the Big Lent Walk to the Chaplaincy and Year 7 Retreat Days, we’ve grown in faith and remembered how we are all called to serve at All Saints’.

Fr Liam’s questions to Fortitudo, our Year 7 house, at their Retreat Day Mass were:

What does my faith look like?

Do I trust God when things are hard?

Do I stay close to Jesus in the Eucharist like St Carlo Acutis did?

Do I listen to His voice like Saul did?

As we enter this new week, where our Word of the Week moves from ‘Faith’ to ‘Vocation’ try to ask these questions in your family and spend time listening to God calling to you.

The Year 10 mock interviews took place at the Civic Centre today.

Embodying the Catholic Social Teaching Principle of Participation, our Year 10 students have worked incredibly hard by completing application forms as though applying for a real job and attending a 15-minute interview in front of an employer.

We were fortunate to have 13 volunteers from a wide range of sectors, and the feedback from them was outstanding. They spoke highly of our student’s professionalism, preparation, and engagement throughout. The students truly excelled themselves and represented our community exceptionally well.

Of the students seen today, 33 achieved scores of 9 or higher out of 10 across their application and interview. In addition, the interviewers identified 18 students who exceeded expectations to such an extent they would have been offered the job. Well done to these students and to all who took part.

AI technology is increasingly part of all our lives, so this Safer Internet Day we are starting a conversation about how to use it safely and responsibly. Use these top tips to help keep you and your loved ones safe online.

Enjoy going online together and talk regularly about your family’s online lives

The internet is amazing and can help us all to access information and entertainment. Spend time online with your child to understand how they are using technology and talk together about the good and the bad parts of being online. Talk about your own experiences and find other opportunities to get the conversation started, like stories in the news. Make sure your child knows they can talk to you about anything that they see or experience online.

Understand where AI technology is being used and the impact it can have

From summaries on search engines, to voice assistants and photo editing tools, AI powered features are being added to many of the apps and devices we use day-to-day. Look out for information and warnings notifying you where AI technology is in use or where content has been created using AI. Help your child to recognise these too. Remember, AI can make some tasks simpler but may also collect data about you and your family, or share unreliable information, so consider how to use it safely and responsibly.

Recognise what safe and responsible use of technology looks like

To use technology, including AI, safely and responsibly, it’s important to reflect on the potential impact it can have on yourself and others. How does your use of technology make you feel? How can you use technology with kindness and respect for others? Does your use of technology benefit you or help you build skills? How might it affect you now, and in the future? Ask these questions of your own internet use, as well as your family’s.

Stay informed with free resources

Young people have told us about the incredible ways they’re using AI, but also about their worries for what it means for the future. Issues such as the environmental impact of AI, what it means for job prospects, and the threat of deepfakes can seem scary but remember, you don’t need to have all the answers. Stay informed using free resources like those produced for Safer Internet Day and talk to your child about their concerns about new technology – you can always work together to find more information.

Know where to go for help if something goes wrong

Like any technology, using AI comes with risks. Some AI tools, like ChatGPT, have built-in reporting features where you can raise issues such as inappropriate or harmful content. Many social media platforms also allow you to report content you suspect has been created with AI. Additionally, AI generated content can break the law. If you see illegal images that show child sexual abuse (including AI generated images), you should report these to the IWF and on the platform where they are being shared. If someone creates an image of you or your child using AI these can also be reported on the platform where they are being shared, and AI generated nude images can be reported to Stop NCII (for images of adults) and Report Remove or Take It Down (for images of under 18s).

Our History students have participated in some brilliant cultural capital activities so far this academic year. At the end of last term, our Y9 Historians visited the Thackray medical museum, where they sat in a Victorian operating theatre, and were part of a demonstration about surgery during the Industrial Revolution. They had a great day viewing the range of exhibits, from ‘diease street’ to an apothecary shop and an iron lung!

Our Y8 Historians spent 2 days at the National Holocaust centre, where we were lucky to hear from a Holocaust survivor, Hedi Argent. We also visited the memorial garden and were able to place stones on the memorial to all of the children who lost their lives in the Holocaust. It was a thought provoking and touching day.
