School Information

At All Saints’ Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, we are proud to offer outstanding teaching and learning in a safe, caring, and nurturing environment.

We are a friendly and welcoming school that values children as individuals – each one with their own hopes, aspirations, and ideas.

At All Saints’ CEVCP, we encourage a growth mindset – which is the belief that all abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. A growth mindset teaches us to:

Embrace challenges
Persist in the face of setback
See effort as the path to mastery
Learn from our mistakes
Find lessons and inspiration in the success of others

We are a mixed gender Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary (CEVCP) school. We span ages four through to eleven and have one class per year group. We currently have 175 pupils at the school.

Our school is a community and we thrive on the support, dedication and enthusiasm that our senior leadership team, teaching and support staff provide. We are also supported by our governing body who ensure clarity of vision and strategic direction.

Our Christian School Vision & Ethos

Inspire Challenge Succeed

As a Church of England school, our Christian vision is that all children leave All Saints’ CEVCP as confident, resilient and reflective individuals, who live their lives through a foundation of strong Christian values and develop a lifelong love of learning along with a curiosity and respect for the world and people around them.

Our Christian Vision Explained

We want to inspire our children and to provide them with the opportunities that will allow them to develop, stay motivated and feel empowered. We teach our children to have respect for themselves and the others, to be kind and compassionate.

Here’s our All Saints Christian vision explained

Our Christian Ethos & Values

In everything, treat others the same way that you want them to treat you (Matthew 7:12).

This enables us to live our lives through Christian values. Children at All Saints are rooted and guided by our Christian values:

Courage
Compassion
Thankfulness
Hope
Friendship
Creativity
Trust
Humility
Justice
Truthfulness
Peace
Forgiveness

All these values underpin our teaching and learning and our school community (pupils, staff, parents, our church and our parish) is centred on the growth, development, and achievement of our children.

We recognise that we are part of a multi-cultural Britain and our core values help and enable us to take an active role in shaping a better society for the future of all.

Collective Worship

Collective worship is a central and valued part of each school day – it brings our school together and develops our sense of being a reflective community. It takes place at the end of the school day and is used as a time to learn, share and reflect.

It’s important for our school family to come together, learn stories from the bible, deepen our understanding of the importance of Christian values, as well as gain an understanding of global faiths and festivals. It’s also a chance to celebrate all the wonderful things that the children do at school and beyond.

We celebrate key Christian festivals at All Saints’ Church where children take a primary role in leading worship through readings, hymns, performances, and reflection.
