If you have a child due to start school in September 2018, then please give us a call to arrange a time to be shown around our lovely school! We don’t offer open days, but prefer to give you a personal tour, so please email or give us a call!
I am delighted to welcome you to the Totley All Saints website which should give you a flavour of all the amazing things that our children experience at our school!
TASS is extremely special & is well loved by its children, staff & parents! We seek to provide a top quality education, an extremely caring atmosphere & one where children can fully thrive & reach their full & amazing potential!
Please click to find just 10 Reasons to choose TASS for your child (there are actually many more)! Thankfully, our children think that our school is amazing too & the School Council came up with their own way of recording this called: How Cool is our School!
OFSTED agreed with what we think & graded us as OUTSTANDING in 5 out of 5 areas!
If you would like to come & have a look to see what TASS can offer your child through a place at our school, then please give us a call – we look forward to hearing from you!

Harvest Celebration
Our Harvest Celebration will be on Monday 23rd October at Totley All Saints Church. We will be setting off at 9:10 for a 9:30am start. Parents & carers are welcome to join us either by walking with, or making their own way for the church service. If you would like to accompany us by walking to the church, then please let your child’s class teacher know. All year groups will celebrate & give thanks with singing, prayers, poems & presentations. This year, we would ask that any donations that parents & carers would like to make take the form of monetary gifts as opposed to tinned & dried food. Any money collected will go to the Cathedral Archer Project. Gifts can be sent via your child on the day of the Harvest to the school office & we will also be collecting money in a bucket at the back of the church. We look forward to celebrating with you!
Sporting Opportunities
As part of our ongoing drive to get our children super fit & sporty, we have a couple of new & exciting additions to our usual programme of lessons, clubs, events & activities. Firstly, Mrs Greig (Teaching Assistant in Y3 & Y6) is working during lunchtimes to teach children outdoor games skills as well as organise different activities such as the Bailey Cup. Secondly, Richard Mills, a Community PE Coach from the Points Learning Network, is joining us every Monday to further support & develop PE within our school. He will be working with staff to lead CPD as well as teach lessons & offer further opportunities for our children to take part in school sports as well as out of hours learning. Richard has been delivering PE & sport for around 12 years in a wide variety of schools & colleges & has a real specialism in Badminton. We know that our children will benefit greatly from these two ventures, so please encourage their involvement.
Eco-Saints & Rights Respecters
The Eco- Saints for this year have all been voted in & include: Zachary Farrow & Charlotte Davies (Y1), Isaac Everitt & Orla Bennett (Y2), Jessica & Isaac Rai (Y3), Dylan Flint and Sophie Chapman-Parmar (Y4), Megan Hill & Guy Eckersley (Y5) plus Daniel Clements & Jessica Smith (Y6).

The two groups will be coming together for a lot of joint working this year including fulfilling the Rights Respecting School Award Action Plan – all under the expert guidance of Mrs J Brown (Y2) & Mrs Leggett. We know they will do brilliantly!
European Day of Languages & the World’s Largest Lesson
Tomorrow (Tuesday, 26th September) is the European Day of Languages & all classes will be remembering Article 30 of the Right of the Child: the right to learn and use the language and customs of their families. Each junior age class will have a special MFL lesson, and KS1 will be having some fun in French!
We will also be participating in the World’s Largest Lesson once again, to learn about the Global Goals for Sustainable Development & will be learning about Article 29 of the Rights of the Child: Children have the right to learn about respecting the natural environment. The focus for this year’s lesson is on food and the right of all children to have good quality food for healthy living. Each class will be doing their lesson as part of their PHSE learning.
Parents’ Evening Appointments
We will be sending out Parents’ Evening appointments today (Monday) so please look out for them in your child’s book bags. If you haven’t sent in your slip yet, then please let us know ASAP so that we can sort an appointment for you. Invite letters were sent as paper copies & via Parent Mail if you missed them.
