The Spring Term was short and hectic - the Summer Term promises much...

• Progress reports suggest that students at the school will, for the third year running at GCSE (and the 8th time in the last 10 years) achieve record exam results. They are working extreemely hard and staff contribution to this has been outstanding. Year 9 students are also progressing well in readiness for SATs - again we are confident of record levels of achievement. Good luck to all those sitting exams in the next few weeks....
• Activities week in July will again see All Saints students heading off to all parts of the UK, Europe and, this year, to both America and Africa. This is a huge commitment from staff - but is a clear indication of this school's absolute determination to ensure that students achieve AND enjoy - not always easy in today's data-driven, bureaucratic, mechanistic world . One day our leaders might wake up to the fact that the best things in life cannot always be measured....
• This applies equally to our new school. The impact on our students, staff and governors as they visit the site  is seen in terms of words such as confidence, pride, anticipation and expectation - try putting those on a graph or in a table.
• There are less than 50 days of school in the current building - both planning headaches and real excitement abound - I will endeavour to keep all readers up to date with details.

One thing is for sure, the future is not any colour, it is All Saints...

Remember if you would like to discuss any aspects of the school with me without seeking an appointment I am at The Styrrup from 7.00pm - 8.00pm each Monday 12th May
