Contents

Admissions

The All Saints Catholic High School serves boys and girls between the ages of eleven and eighteen. Currently, there are approximately 1,300 pupils along with 114 teaching staff and 64 support staff. [1]

History

De la Salle College was a direct grant grammar school from 1946 until 1976. It was located on Scott Road, in the suburb of Pitsmoor. The area is now a housing estate, featuring names that remember the past use of the site such as College Close and De la Salle Drive. The college was used in the war by the Royal Air Force as a barrage balloon unit headquarters for defending Sheffield from aerial attack.[ citation needed ]

The school in its present form was founded in September 1976 with the merger of De la Salle College (a grammar school) and St. Paul's school (on the current site). In 1983, the De la Salle site was closed and, along with the closure of St. Peter's RC school, many pupils and staff moved to the All Saints site.

The Headteacher at the time was Mr. J. P. Kelly, who remained at his post for the next twenty-five years before retiring. He was replaced by Mr. R. Sawyer, who stepped down from service at the end of the 2012/13 academic year. In September 2013, the school's Headteacher was Mrs. Clare Scott, who stepped down from service at the end of the 2016/17 academic year to retire. As of September 2017, the school's new Headteacher is Mr. Sean Pender.

All Saints Catholic High School is currently situated on Granville Road (A6135), next to The Sheffield College in Sheffield.

Ethos

The school has a strong Catholic ethos which is reflected in its motto "Fortis in Fide" (Strength in Faith).[ citation needed ]

The school, which has a chapel and a chaplaincy team, holds Catholic Mass twice a year.[ clarification needed ]

Facilities

The school has been awarded a Sports College status and is home to one of the biggest sporting facilities in England.[ citation needed ] A new sports hall was built in the summer of 2007. There are also nine AstroTurf pitches available.

As of 2011, a new school has been expanded (co-located) on the grounds, accommodating the needs of Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) students. This new extension is called the "Seven Hills School". [2]

Academic performance

The school gets above-average results at GCSE level.[ verification needed ] It is one of six state schools in Sheffield that has a sixth form. Most schools that offer sixth form education are also former grammar schools. Sheffield College, which is located next door, also offers A Levels.

Notable alumni

Alumni of All Saints are entitled to refer to themselves as 'Old Toussainters', in line with the school's origins as De La Salle Grammar, founded by French monks.

OFSTED Report

Academy

An OFSTED Short Inspection Report was published in 2018, confirming the 2014 Full Inspection rating of Good, with aspects of the school's work needing improvement. [7]

Pre-Academy

A report at the beginning of 2011, before the school became an Academy, showed an improvement in the school, which was rated "outstanding" by Ofsted. [7]

Changes to the school 2010–11

In 2010, the school began to undergo construction to build new facilities and an entirely new building. The work was due to finish in September 2011. When completed, the school would be able to accommodate an additional 100–200 pupils from Seven Hills (approximate figure)[ clarification needed ]. The reason for this was that the school agreed to let Seven Hills' new school be built, meaning All Saints and Seven Hills would both have new equipment.
