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!

Support our Athletes for the Next Olympics with Beth Dobbin
Thank you to everyone so far who has sponsored their child for the circuit challenge that will be happening this Thursday (18.10.18). Children will be able to wear the choice of sportswear for the day plus get to meet Beth Dobbin — an up and coming athlete in the 200m sprint who has her sights set on Tokyo Olympics in 2020. If you haven’t sponsored your child so far, then there is still time before Thursday to encourage them in their efforts as well as support our athletes for the next Olympics. We also get a percentage of the amount raised to go towards new activities and equipment for the playground. Thank you!
Cross Country Update
Our Cross Country team had another fantastic outing on Saturday with Mr Johnson at Norfolk Park. Daniel Eames, Phoebe Shipley plus a welcome newcomer, Henry King, took part & ran superbly! Phoebe finished a fantastic 56th & Daniel continued his amazing form with an outstanding 14th place! Henry ran superbly despite having stitch halfway through. Well done to all our runners & parents for their support. The next event will be on November 17th & newcomers are always welcome. Please see Mr Johnson if you are interested in your child taking part.
Harvest Thanksgiving
Don’t forget that our Harvest Celebration is next week, on MONDAY 22nd October at All Saints Church, Totley. We will be setting off at 9:10 for a 9:30am start—so please come along! Remember that 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.
PTA Fun-d Raiser Autumn Arts & Crafts Competition
The PTA Fun-d Raisers will be holding an Autumn Arts & Crafts Competition with prizes for the best. Children are invited to display their creations in the hall on the morning of the service & parents / carers will then be able to come & take a look afterwards.
SPAG Busters
Our SPAG Buster (Spelling, Punctuation & Grammar) Booklets are going out today for KS1 (Infants) & KS2 (Juniors). These give parents & carers a full rundown of what is expected in the different year groups as well as ideas on how you can help your child to learn.
Parents’ Evenings are NEXT WEEK!
We look forward to seeing you at the Parents’ Evenings NEXT WEEK on Monday 22nd & Thursday 25th.
Please Remember…
Next Friday, 26th October, is our training day & school is closed to children. We try our very best to ensure that all training days cause as little disruption & inconvenience as possible & try to always add them to half term holidays where possible. Thank you!
No Dogs at TASS
Please remember that dogs must not be brought on the school site. If anyone does bring a dog to pick up their child, then parents / carers need to stand outside of the perimeter fence (away from passing children) & must hold leads at all times. Dogs must not be left unattended. Many thanks!
