This week some of our students took place in the Book Event with other local schools, where they had to present to an audience on the book they have been reading. Mrs Little, librarian, reports that ‘they did really well and I was so proud of them. They were a little nervous but stood up […]
The blog is here one day early this week, due to school being closed tomorrow (Friday) for staff training. This is an opportunity for staff to plan the curriculum for next year and build on the work we have already been doing with over 20 other schools across Devon and London. This has been part […]
It has been good to return to All Saints this week for the final half term of the year! Students and staff returned refreshed from the break and ready to start work again. Year 11 and 13 students continue to sit exams as this season is well underway now. Just before we broke up, there […]
The academy operates a vertical tutoring system. This means is that instead of the academy being organised into year groups, registering together, we have broken them up into four Houses. Each House contains eight form groups which comprise year 7 to year 11 students. These form groups meet for 15 minutes in the morning and in […]
It has been a short half term (5 weeks) but a huge amount has happened at the academy. Yesterday we said goodbye to Year 11 and Year 13 as they embarked on study leave. We had leavers’ assemblies for both which was a chance to reflect on the last 5 or 7 years at All […]
This week has been great as we have now had confirmation that we will be using Sparx Classroom next year in maths.

On the 8th and 9th of May, we had a full inspection of our school, looking at all areas – overall effectiveness, quality of care and support, outcomes, Christian ethos and RE education. I am delighted to report that the inspector graded us as a ‘good school’ in all areas. It is great to see […]
Only a brief update this week, as we returned on Tuesday, so it’s been a short week in comparison to others. Today we say goodbye to Mrs Alsop who goes for maternity leave and we wish her all the best. We look forward to hearing baby’s name when they arrive. We are in full swing […]
It is hard to believe we are already in May, with only two months left until the end of the year. Already, Year 11s and 13s have begun their examinations and are looking ahead to their futures after All Saints. Earlier this week staff spent time thinking about the vision for the Academy over the […]

We continue to work on the garden and this week have been planting broad beans, peas and french […]
