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!

Thank you to everyone in our amazing school community for their support & commitment in making TASS a fantastic school! We wish everyone a wonderful Summer & look forward to coming together again in September!! THANK YOU!
Thank you, Howard!
At the last Governing Body Meeting a couple of week’s ago, our long term Chair of Governors, Howard Freeman, stood down due to his term of office coming to an end & due to growing work commitments & responsibilities as a Chartered Accountant. Howard started as Parent Governor many years ago having had all three of his children come through the school from Reception to Y6. He has worked tirelessly over the years for the school, has been a real champion of our children & also played an extensive role in the sucessful OFSTED inspection which took place in January last year. Howard will continue as an associate governor for the time being in order to support new governors as well as the new Chair, Lucy Booth (parent to Darcy, Y6, & Nell, Y2). We wish him all the very best on a professional as well as a personal level & are very grateful indeed for his massive contribution & tremendous hard work in making TASS so special! Howard, we salute you!
Goodbye to our Very Special Members of Staff!
It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to some very special members of staff — some for the time being anyway! Miss Morrell (Y6 Teaching Assistant) is leaving us to pursue her dream of becoming a primary school teacher & is taking up her training in September. We knew that this was always the plan & are assured that she will be extremely successful as she is what we call in the trade a ‘NBT’ (Natural Born Teacher)! Also, we say goodbye to three (of the five) pregnant teachers: Mrs Scarpello (Y2 & Assistant Head), Mrs Fullwood (Y2) & Mrs Underwood (FS2). We’re just so please that our goodbyes won’t be forever & look forward to welcoming them back to TASS after they’ve had their babies! We’ll keep you posted on all deliveries! We will be saying our goodbyes to these very special people as part of our assembly on the last day. They are all amazing & we wish them every blessing for their families & futures!!
Thank you PTA FUN-D Raisers
The PTA Fun-d Raising team is stepping down this week after all of their amazing achievements over the last two years as well as raising thousands for all of the added extras that make school a fantastic experience for our children! Kelly Lawton (mum of Darcy, Y1 & Monty, Y3) & Sally McCann (mum of Martha, Y3) have served as Joint Chairs and Janine Scott (mum of Oliver, Y5) has served as Treasurer. These titles don’t in any way tell the story of all their hard work & effort on behalf of the school: from Discos to Christmas & Summer Fayres; breakfasts & playground refurbishments; quiz nights & Easter Egg Hunts; uniform sales & refreshments — the team have done it all! Kelly, in particular, has become almost an honorary member of staff in terms of the time she has spent in school & the MASSIVE effort that she has made in terms of driving things forward!!! Even now, things are being organised for the second phase of playground improvements to take place over the summer. Thank you so much for all your hard work & support of the school! You are amazing & we salute you!
PTA NEXT YEAR???? At the moment, we DON’T have anyone who has come forward to make up a team. It would be such a great loss to the school if all of these lovely events & added extras COULDN’T happen next year! Please let us know if you’re interested!
TASS Superstars Present: ‘Robin & the Sherwood Hoodies’
See you all this week for ‘Robin & the Sherwood Hoodies!’ performed by our TASS Superstars! Afternoon performances are at 2:00pm (doors will only open at 1:50pm as we have to set up the hall after lunch). Parents are also asked to bring children to school for 6:10pm (no earlier as they will not be supervised before this time) to be ready for the evening performance on Tuesday at 6:30pm. Please pick up at 7:45pm on the Tuesday evening from the usual pick up points on the yard. Because this may be a very late bed time for our very youngest children, parents of FS2 parents can pick up their children from the Reception classroom once they have finished their part in the play (please see FS2 teachers for an approximate time). Otherwise, if children are tired the next morning then, as in previous years, we will allow children to come to school in late by close of register that day at 10:00am (school will open as usual for all others & children who arrive after this time will be marked as absent with no lunch orders taken). We look forward to showing off our TASS Superstars!
Y2 & Y6 SATs Results
If you would like to see our fantastic whole school results showing how our superstars did in their SATs, then please see under the ‘For Parents’ menu & Statutory Information! Well done everyone on their great achievement!
Y6 Graduation
We will be holding our Y6 Leavers Graduation Ceremony & Reception complete with gowns (made last year by Mrs Cotovan & Mrs Glossop) & mortar boards this Wednesday afternoon! Y6 parents have been invited to the event at 2:00pm for the graduation including a special presentation of graduation certificates, a TASS pen, plus a special hardback edition of: A History of Totley All Saints Church of England School, Sheffield, 1827-2000’ by Joan Stratford (a previous Head teacher of TASS). This will then be followed by non-alcoholic drinks plus a variety of nibbles before the children go off to their celebrations. We will miss our Y6s greatly & are so proud of their amazing achievements as well as the wonderful young men & women that they have become!
