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!

TASS Aspire Day – Friday 15th February
We would love to get a real variety of different talents, jobs & professions to give our children a real insight into what they could aspire to in their future – so please don’t hold back! No job is too high or too low – WE NEED YOU!!!
Please look out for letter sent out via Parent Mail last week regarding our ‘TASS Aspire Day’ in which we hope to inspire our children to think about their futures & what they would like to become ‘when they grow up’. Once again, we are hoping that members of our community (YOU) will volunteer your time to come in & talk to classes about the jobs that you do, special talents or interests that you have, plus how & why you chose such a route. In this way, we hope that our children will think now about what it is they want to do – as well as how to get there. If you would like to share what you do with a class of children on Friday 15th February, then please fill in the slip attached to the letter & send it into school as soon as possible in order that we can plan a brilliant & inspiring day! If you need a paper copy sending home to save on printing, please let the office know. Please remember that no job is too high or too low – the greater the variety the better!
In addition, we will also be asking our children to dress up as something that they could do in the future as a career. Please don’t go to any expense on this, but it might be worth some discussion before the last week as to what they could wear on the day!
Mathematician Revision Club
Our Y6s will be having an early start every day in the run up to SATs with our Mathematician Revision Club starting today (Monday 14th January). The club will be taking place in the ICT suite each morning starting at 8:20am until the bell & will be held every morning through to SATs ending on Friday 10th May (SATs Week is 13th to 16th May). During the club, children will be able to access exciting computer based interactive games & activities all related to the Maths topics that they have been learning about in school. Whilst we appreciate that this will be an earlier start for our children, we know that participation in the club will be confidence building & will help our children feel (as well as be) extra prepared for the tests in May to be able to really show off what they can do. We wish them well with the early start – as well as with the Maths of course!
TASS Governing Body Meeting
The TASS Governing Body will be meeting tonight (14.1.19) in the school hall for their termly Business & Committee meetings. Under discussion will be school performance data analysis plus committee meeting agenda items. If you would like to find out more about our governors & the work that they do, then please visit our website page or see the display in the school entrance.
Please Do the HM Survey
As you know, our school is involved in a joint project with Sheffield Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) called Healthy Minds. Healthy Minds is a project that focuses on developing the whole school environment to best support our children’s mental health. The project includes training for all school staff on the fundamentals of young people’s mental health and the implications for learning. Last week, we sent out details on how to access the Healthy Minds Survey for Parents & Carers would be very grateful if you could do this ASAP. The results will then be helpful so that we can best understand the specific needs of our school & so support our children further in their well-being. The link is as follows: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/HealthyMindsParentCarer
