"The last twelve months has been a big year of
changes at All Saints CE Primary School. Just before Christmas we said good
bye to the head teacher Jane Elliott. Jane had seen the school through the
successful merger of the nursery, infants and juniors into one primary
school with Voluntary Aided Church status. This meant that the
whole school now has had one central Christian ethos and it has been a
delight over the past year to have invited every class across to the church
either for a visit or take part in a service.
This year's school All Saints' Day services were
particular memorable with the children explaining what the word saint, meant
to them through words, song and drama. This is a legacy that Jane Elliott
can be proud of.
The link between the school and church has also
been strengthened through the formation of a church junior choir drawn from
children attending the school. Every Monday, after school, Father Jim and
Father Leonard collect the children drawn from across the school and go
across the church to practice. Listening to their singing many have
commented on the quality of their voices. The choir has also lead to the
children's' parents coming to the church to support them.
The school also made a contribution to the All
Saints Church Cultural weekend in July with the children presenting a poetry
time in the church.
The other significant event of last year was the
Ofsted Inspection, despite many good features, such as a significant number
of children gaining level 6 in maths (average standard for typical 15 yr
olds) an excellent nursery and early years, they came to the conclusion that
the recent improvements made in the last 2 years were not yet embedded so we
were kept in the "Requires Improvement, " category. To move the school
forward the governors have been working hard to develop their own skills and
have carried out a review of their work.
Please pray for.
-the governors for wisdom in appointing a new head
teacher
-the staff as they seek to do their best for the
children
-the growing partnership between the church and
school.
-parents, as they seek to guide their children as
they grow up within the challenges of South London
-the pupils, as they learn about being part of a
school with strong Christian values.

Williams, chair of governors.
