Are you looking for the best school to start your child in September 2019? Then please give us a call to arrange a visit as I’d love to show you around our lovely school!
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!

Thank you PTA Fun-d Raisers!
Thank you to our amazing team of PTA Fun-d Raisers & to everyone who made the event happen on Friday! It was fantastic & truly made Christmas start at TASS! A massive big thank you also goes to Sara Evans (Chair) for heading up the team & supporters! THANK YOU!
PTA Fun-d Raiser Discos
Don’t forget the PTA Fun-d Raiser Discos are THIS week (Wednesday 12th December) with Infants (3:30-4:30-pm) & Juniors (4:45-5:45pm). Please note that only those adults who have pre-agreed to help out at the event will be allowed into the disco itself. This is simply in order that we can ensure that all children are safe & accounted for. As usual, infant children will go straight to the disco with staff & will then need to be picked up from classrooms where they will be released as is the normal routine (children not attending the disco can be picked up as per usual). Junior children will need to be brought by parents / carers to the main entrance where they will be signed in at 4:45pm & then picked up again at 5:45pm (please don’t be late). Children can then be released to parents / carers at the hall entrance & then exit the school via the Y2 door in order to avoid clogging at the main entrance. A massive THANK YOU once again to everyone who makes these events happen as well as all those that support them!
Christmas Lunch Day
Christmas Lunch Day is this Wednesday 12th December & is also a non-uniform day. Crackers will be provided by our amazing PTA Fun-d Raisers & children can come to school in anything Christmassy (outfits, jumpers, tinsel garlands, antler Alice bands, party hats & badges). Remember, this doesn’t need to be expensive or at any additional cost – why not use it as an excuse to get ‘crafty’ with your children!
TASS Christmas Productions
The rehearsals for our Christmas productions are well underway! In order to facilitate all parents / carers an opportunity to see their children, we will once again be having separate infant & junior performances. The infants will be performing in ‘A Miracle in Town’ on Friday 14th December at 9:30am & 2:30pm & the juniors will be putting on a traditional Christmas Concert on Monday 17th & Tuesday 18th December, both at 2:30pm. As always, we are having a high demand for tickets, so please get your orders in ASAP. Paper letters as well as Parent Mail went out last week, so please take a look if you haven’t already. We look forward to showing you, once again, what our TASS Superstars can do!
Weather Warning
Thankfully, the weather hasn’t been too bad so far! If things do take a change for the worse however, then parents can be assured that wherever possible, the school will of course stay open. However, school would need to close if adverse weather conditions caused major disruption to transport networks affecting travel arrangements as well as health & safety risks for employees & pupils. For example: if the school site was inaccessible or unsafe; if we were unable to provide hot meals; had issues with the heating/water; or did not have the correct adult to pupil ratios in terms of First Aid or Safe-guarding. Please be assured that this decision is never made lightly & that every effort is made to consult with other headteachers in the area often in the very early hours of the morning. If the decision is made to close the school fully (or if a later opening or earlier closure needs to take place) then this would be communicated to you by text, Parent Mail, the school web-site & via announcements made on Radio Sheffield & Radio Hallam. Additionally, parents & carers can sign up for Weather Alerts (which includes announcements of school closures) via: https:// www.sheffield. gov.uk/register-for-alerts.html. Please give thought to what your own arrangements would be for the care & supervision of your child/ren if the need arises & also ensure that school is notified of any changes to contact details ASAP. Thank you!
