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! We also want to ensure that the Rights of the Child (as detailed in the UN Convention) are at the forefront of all that we do so please check out our Vision Statement for all that we’re aiming to achieve.
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!

Science Week
It’s our TASS Science Week this week starting off with an introductory assembly to meet Mick Rolley who will be leading workshops for our children over the next few days. Our children can look forward to a whole host of interactive experiments to create curiosity and inspire them to pursue science in either a ‘Do Physics!’, Circus, or Wax investigative workshop. A Superstar Scientist will be chosen from each class by the end of the week & will receive their certificate & prize during the assembly on the first week back (Monday 25th February as no assembly on the last Friday due to it being our Aspire Day). We can’t wait to find out what our budding scientists get up to!
TASS Aspire Day
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to take part in our TASS Aspire Day this Friday (15.2.19). We’re really excited by the level of variety that we have & have people from all different realms of work & talent, including: an ocean sailor, photographer, architect, scientist, social worker, airline pilot, Medical HR, dentist, optician plus a Bumblebee conservationist. We know that the day will be inspirational for our children so please discuss what they’ve learned & have the conversation about what your child/ren want to do in the future. In this way, we hope that they can continue in their fabulous learning journey to fulfill their dreams & potential for the future! Remember that children can dress up for the day as something that they might do as a future career for £1.00 towards the PTA Fun-d Raiser trim trail fund!
Meeting for Parents & Carers
As you know, TASS is to Become Part of the Diocese of Sheffield Academy Trust (DSAT). If you haven’t seen the letter & leaflet sent out on 18th Jan via Parent Mail, then please do so for more information. Parents are welcome to attend the meeting today (Monday 11th February) at 4:30pm in the school hall to find out more / ask questions, etc. Thank you.
# ShowtheLove
This Valentine’s Day, as Global Neighbours, we will be taking part in the national campaign called ‘Show the Love’. Children will be learning, through an assembly and class activity, that they have the power to show love and care for God’s planet and people affected by climate change. It is the world’s poorest people who often suffer most by the effects of climate change. We will discover how Christian Aid works to eradicate poverty, and consider what we could do to # ShowtheLove.
World Book Day is Coming Soon
It’s World Book Day on Thursday 7th March & we’ll be letting you know about all of the amazing things that we have planned to celebrate it beforehand, but thought that it might be a good idea to warn you about it being a ‘dress up as a favourite book character’ day so that you could start having a look out over the holiday! Look out for our WBD booklet via Parent Mail just before the holiday giving more details of what our children can look forward to.
Vitamin D
As we know too well, the weather has been increasingly dull & dark over the last few weeks. As a result, we’ve been asked by Public Health England to remind parents & carers of the importance of vitamin D. Vitamin D is important for our bone health & is needed to absorb calcium and other nutrients from our diet to keep bones strong and healthy. It is recommended that everyone should take a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D particularly during the autumn and winter months & this is particularly important for children. Women and children who qualify for the Healthy Start Scheme can get free supplements containing Vitamin D from Children’s Centres plus it can of course be found in most chemists & supermarkets.
