Our Mission Statements

OUR ETHOS AND VALUES

At All Saints’, the children are at the heart of EVERYTHING we do, and with Christ as our inspiration, we are committed to creating a happy, safe, nurturing and inclusive school where we value teamwork, being kind, forgiving one another and trying our best, in everything we do.

Guided by our Catholic Social Teachings, we cultivate an environment of dignity, respect and compassion. Our school is a place of welcome, we open our doors to our wider school-family and the local community of Ashton on Mersey, and our eyes out into the wider world. We ensure our pupils have the knowledge, skills and understanding necessary to make a positive contribution both locally, nationally and internationally through our mission, our curriculum, the trips and visitors we encourage, and through the experiences within school life, building God’s Kingdom on earth, one child at a time.

Every individual in our school is a wonder, and is celebrated as such. They are encouraged and challenged to inspire others with their courageous thinking and risk taking, within a ‘safe-to-fail’, ‘have a go’, nurturing, environment.

In constant pursuit of excellence in all things, we believe our high standards and ambition for all enables each person within our school to grow and develop, with a sense of pride in all their achievements.

We are proud of the relationships and behaviours witnessed around school, they impact all aspects of school life, and demonstrate our values at work and truly lived, each day, by staff, children, parents and governors.

At All Saints’, the children are at the heart of EVERYTHING we do

Our vision is that all our children develop positive, high aspirations for their futures as we enable them to grow in faith, love, confidence, resilience and self-belief. We do this by providing challenge in their learning, in a ‘growth mindset’ culture, where everyone feels safe to learn by ‘having a go’ and, crucially, where they feel ‘safe to fail’, as it is by making mistakes and persevering that we truly learn.

Everyone who works with our children is determined to enable them to grow in their sense of Christian spirituality and appreciation of: each other; the people around them; the natural environment, and their developing sense of purpose in these early stages of their life journeys. We are determined that the children have a deep sense of self appreciation too, that they value themselves and the contribution they make now and can see themselves making in the future.

All aspects of school life are designed to inspire confident, motivated, collaborative, as well as independent learners and equip them with the skills necessary to thrive in an increasingly complex and changing world – with God by their side.

Our school values each and every individual for their uniqueness, celebrating and validating individual gifts and talents. It is a dynamic and forward-facing place, but equally a special place that remembers to enjoy the experience of today. We aim for everyone who works here to have a clear sense of where they are now, where they would like to get to and how they are going to get there.

Our School Prayer

‘This is our school.

Let peace bloom here.

Let the rooms burst with happiness!

Love for each other, love of life itself and love of God’
