We are wishing you a fabulous Christmas break and we are sure that having some time to spend together as a family is very much welcomed by both parents and students.
School is closed from the 22nd December to the 4th January and school staff may not respond to emails or contact. Therefore, any immediate concerns should be reported to the relevant service (for example the Police or Children’s Services). However, the safeguarding@allsaints.notts.sch.uk email is available for non-emergency concerns. This inbox will be checked intermittently by the safeguarding team during the break.
Below are some helpful websites and resources regarding safety and mental health.
Kooth:
Kooth is a website we direct students to if they want to talk about their feelings anonymously.
Look at www.kooth.com for support when it comes to speaking to your teen about their feelings.
NSPCC and Childline:
This is in case you have concerns a child may be at risk of abuse or harm. Young people can also make those calls themselves to report concerns.
Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH).
If you have concerns about the welfare of a child you can make a referral to MASH. Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) | Nottinghamshire County Council
Online Safety:
Young people use smartphones so frequently and confidently that we forget how much access they have to the world through these devices and through social media. Any reminder of this is timely and important.
During this school holiday period, please continue to monitor your child’s online activity and talk openly to them about their use of social media. With apps like Snapchat, young people can easily share their location with others and talk to strangers. This can be incredibly dangerous and it is important we continue to remind our young people about these risks and monitor activity. Some of our students may be lucky to receive new devices this Christmas – please remind them of the responsibility that comes with them.
Parents and young people can refer concerns about online sexual abuse to CEOP or can report concerns to Police through the 101 number.
The UK Safer Internet Centre provides support as to how to protect young people online on a range of devices.
Dear Parents and Carers
The Year 11 Progress Evening for parents and carers will take place on Tuesday 16th January 2024 from 16.00pm until 19.15pm; this will be conducted via in-person appointments at All Saints’ School, but parents will still need to book their appointments online using the School Cloud facility below. The evening is an important opportunity to speak to your child’s teachers about the progress your child is making.
Booking Appointments using the School Cloud Website
You will be able to book appointments from 24th December at 8.00 am.
We are using a piece of software provided through School Cloud and you can access the booking system through the following link: https://allsaintsmansfield.schoolcloud.co.uk/
Parents and Carers, with School Cloud access, are those individuals who will have listed as Priority One and Two contacts on the admission form at the beginning of the academic year. It will be parents and guardians who have parental responsibility and that includes those with a court order in place. It is important that both first and surname, and your child’s name and date of birth are inputted in the same way that it is on the school system. If you are struggling to login, it may be because you are not listed as a Priority One or Two contact, do not have parental responsibility including a court order, or because there is spelling or numerical error on our system. In any of these cases, please contact, Mrs Scott with the nature of the problem: scott.l@allsaints.notts.sch.uk. By having both Priority One and Two contacts, it means that parents/ carers, who may live separately, can both be involved in finding out about their child’s progress.
At login, you will be asked for an email address; this is not authenticated with the email address that you listed on your child’s admission form at the start of the year; it is merely for School Cloud to send a confirmation email to you when you have successfully booked and saved your appointments.
The instructions at the end of the letter outline how to access the website in order to book appointments.
During the Evening- *Important Changes*
Before you attend the event, please make sure you have a copy of the times of your appointments. 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. Parents and Carers will then have five minutes to locate the next staff member. 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.

Attention school leavers 2023
A message for Year 11 and Year 13 who left All Saints’ last academic year (2022/2023)
Examination GCSE & A LEVEL certificates can be collected on Tuesday 16th January 2024 between 4pm-6pm in the Dining Hall.

The Thursday before we split for the autumn half term the RE department organised a unique opportunity to go and watch the extremely successful musical ‘The Prince of Egypt’ as it was being live streamed from London’s west end to numerous independent cinemas up and down the country.
There were 50 tickets up for grabs and all went within 12 hours of school releasing them!
The students study the story of Moses for their GCSE so this was a unique opportunity not only for their studies but also as an enrichment opportunity.
Mrs Nattriss organised the event and was accompanied by Miss Earl, Miss Bowler and Mrs Smith as well as 50 Y9-Y11s.
The behaviour of the students was exceptional and every member of staff in attendance had members of public approach them to state how polite the students were and includes that they were brilliant ambassadors for the school – all 4 teachers could not have been prouder. Especially as it was such a long day with them not returning to school until 10.30pm.
The students that went all enjoyed the opportunity and all felt they had a far greater understanding now of the story of Moses which is what we set out to achieve.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
As you may already know, Friday 17th November is the night of this year’s BBC Children in Need Appeal. Our school is excited to be joining with many others around the UK to participate in the fundraising programme.
We will be taking part in lots of fundraising activities.
This is where we need your help!
The school will have a non-uniform day for students and staff on Friday 17th November; we ask that students donate £1 if they wish to participate. Please make your donation via the Arbor parent portal school shop. Our Sixth Form students have arranged for a number of activities to take place, including a bake sale and a penalty shoot-out (both of which will be accepting cash); such activities will be available for all key stages to participate in so that whole school community has the opportunity to donate money towards a good cause.
Let’s make a big difference to the lives of children across the UK.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours faithfully,
Carlo Cuomo
Head Teacher
