Congratulations to all students who took part in both Challenge 29 in May and Challenge 25 in July! Students were challenged to attend school for 29 days between Easter and May half term and an incredible 674 students completed this! Challenge 25 took place between May half term and the start of July and this time 573 students completed the challenge. Students either had 100% or very low authorised absences e.g. medical appointments.
Students really embraced the challenges and it got us all talking about the importance of attendance. Not only that but we saw an increase in attendance rates against same periods in the previous academic year, which is fantastic!
Students were rewarded with extended break times, entry into a prize draw and a visit from the ice cream van!
Look out for more challenges in 2026-27!
Student return to school is as follows:
Thursday 3rd September: School reopens for Years 7 and 12 only
Year 7 students go to the Dining Room
Year 12 students go to the Sixth Form area
Year 7 students should wear full school uniform (not PE kit). They will have their photo taken if consent has been given and lunch passes created. It would be a good idea to do a packed lunch for this first day unless students have lunches provided.
Friday 4th September: School reopens for all students Years 7-13.
All students go straight to their tutor rooms at 8.55.
Year 7s and 12s will know their tutor room from Thursday.
All other students should know their tutor rooms, but staff will be available at the front of school to assist if needed.

Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope this letter finds you well.
I am writing to introduce myself as the school’s new Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) at All Saints’ Catholic Academy, beginning in September. I understand that changes in staffing – particularly in a role as important as this – may feel unsettling, and I would like to take this opportunity to reassure you of my commitment to supporting both you and your child through this transition.
I have been a teacher of English at the school for the past twenty-three years, and during that time I have had the privilege of working closely with many students and families. This experience has given me a strong understanding of our school community, as well as the diverse needs of our young people. I am deeply committed to ensuring that every student is supported to thrive, both academically and personally.
I recognise how important consistency, communication, and trust are when it comes to supporting students with additional needs. Please be assured that I will work closely with staff, students, and families to maintain continuity of support and to build positive, collaborative relationships with you.
To help make this transition as smooth as possible, I will be organising an opportunity during the first term for parents and carers to meet me. This will provide you with a chance to ask questions, share any concerns, and begin to build the partnerships that are so vital to effective SEN provision. Further details about this meeting will follow in due course.
In the meantime, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the school if you have any immediate queries or would like to make contact.
I am very much looking forward to working with you and your child, and to continuing the strong support that our school offers.
Have a wonderful summer.
Your faithfully,
Mrs L Lathall

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 2nd 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 26th June, indicating your attendance and which presentation you are opting for.
Y10 Parents/Students Attendance to Open Evening 2nd July 2026 – Fill in form
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
Yours sincerely
Mrs. Wain Mrs. Davie
Head of Sixth Form Head of Sixth Form
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!
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.
