Here is what the recent OFSTED Inspection said about us:

All Saints is a good school with outstanding features, providing good value for money. Very effective leadership has ensured that pupils continue to receive a good quality education despite a period of immense upheaval. This is a very inclusive school in which the dedication and devotion of the headteacher and staff to meeting the needs of every child is outstanding. As a result, it is a very happy, purposeful place where pupils develop well on all fronts. Parents' strong support for this view is shown in a typical comment, 'All Saints is at the heart of the community, raising aspirations, improving life chances and putting pupils and families at the forefront of all they do.'

Here is what they said about the School Governors, many of whom are Parishioners:

"Governors discharge their responsibilities exceptionally well, contributing strongly to the school's ongoing development, particularly in helping to maximise its contribution to the community."

 Savio is now one of the best schools in the country:

 BOOTLE’S Savio Salesian College has been heralded as one of the five most improved schools in England.

Many of Sefton’s schools finished above the national average in showing dramatic improvement since last year, and the Netherton Way school, which caters for 11 to 18 year olds, leapt 72 points in the aggregate score between 2004-2007.

Headteacher Father Gerard Briody, who joined the school in September 2005, said: “We are delighted that the outstanding achievements of the school in raising levels of achievement has been recognised in the latest government figures.

“This is due rew ard for the excellent work carried out by staff and students within the school over a sustained period.

“It demonstrates our commitment to provide our students with the best possible opportunities to prepare for successful future careers.”

Father Briody added: “We are setting high expectations here and we are doing that through excellent teaching and learning, monitoring people’s progress and involving parents.

“We are very proud of what we have achieved; we have done that at key stage three but key stage four results have also gone up by 23 per cent in the same time period.

“In the future we are looking at the improvements at key stage three to go into key stage four as well. Our sixth form has also improved. We are celebrating this because its recognised by the government.”

“I offer my congratulations to staff students and their families for this achievement.”

This is what OFSTED said about the leadership of the School:

We were very impressed by Fr Briody and what he has been able to achieve in his short time at the school. My colleague inspectors and I know he will keep things on the boil and, with the support of his leadership team and the commitment of the entire school community, keep a close eye on what is happening to ensure the quality of education you receive keeps on improving.

The improvements in the school are the direct result of the headteacher's drive to put into place sustainable systems and measures that raise student achievement. This is now at the heart of the school and has been embraced by students, staff, parents and governors. The whole school recognises it is on a journey and there is more to do.

Savio Salesian College is providing quality secondary education for the young people of the area

Here is what a recent OFSTED Inspection said about the College:

"...a strength of the school is its care, guidance and support for students, all of which are good. This is due to the commitment of all staff, good programmes of personal, social, health and citizenship education and improvements to academic guidance. As a result students are increasingly able to overcome previous barriers to learning. Support for vulnerable students remains strong."

Over the past couple of months I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with some very enterprising young girls from Savio Salesian College Specialists in business and enterprise. A group of their Year 11 girls organised an event at the South Sefton Partnership For Learning Centre to encourage more young girls at their school to become more enterprising.

When we heard about this we thought it was a fantastic idea as did some of our ambassadors who took part in the day which took place yesterday.

It was a fun and full packed day with workshops about fashion – run by Caroline Oates, singing – run by Su Grainger, dance – run by Clare Roberts, publishing – run by Fiona Shaw and networking run by Make Your Mark’s very own Helen Kerr. Over 50 girls took part in the different workshops throughout the day learning how the women set up their own business and the work involved in their particular sector. The 9 girls that organised this event are very impressive and they have high hopes of organising an even bigger event later this year, inviting more entrepreneurs and more young girls so watch this space.
