All Hallows Catholic College The first choice for students and parents for children attending our family of primary schools
Dear Parents/Carers, If you have already chosen to educate your child in one of our feeder schools, here are 10 good reasons why you should choose All Hallows to continue your child’s education…
✓ All barriers to travel have been removed – for less than £2 per day return all Children who attended one of our partner schools are guaranteed a seat right away. ✓ We have already prepared your child for a successful transition from Year 6 to All Hallows through an extensive programme of shared activities which started in Year 3. ✓ We share the same philosophy of education with your child’s primary school and provide a stimulating, fun and modern Catholic education for the whole person helping Children aspire to be the best they can be. ✓ We are OfSTED Outstanding and we have excellent results every year at GCSE and A Level. 95% of GCSE students gained 5+A*-C, 70% including English and Maths and 72% gained 5+A*-C at grades A*B. At A level, all our students passed, 56% gained A*-B and they doubled A* passes to 14%. ✓ We are nationally recognised for excellence in teaching and curriculum innovation with additional specialist expertise in Business, Entrepreneurship and Languages – all essential for success in a rapidly changing world. ✓ We have a calm, purposeful and inspirational learning environment. Children are taught in longer blocks of learning time and teachers plan lessons using a special framework which is being show-cased to other schools nationally. ✓ We are experts in learning outside the classroom. Our College Farm and outdoor enterprise learning projects complement classroom activities. ✓ We have a superb reputation for Sports and the Arts A massive new investment planned for 2013, including a new changing pavilion, a flood lit all weather pitch, and outdoor gym. ✓ We have an extensive extra-curricular programme that runs during the day time as well as after college enabling all students to participate whether or not they live near to or at a distance from the college. ✓ We have been invited to become a Catholic Voluntary Academy and we will use our new freedoms to continue our journey of excellence, with the aim of providing better than the best – be that in state or private education.
