Honouring the past, serving the future
All Saints Catholic College holds its history close while continuing to build a school for today's students and families.
The legacy of St Charles, Cardinal Manning and Sion-Manning remains part of the school’s identity. That history continues through the students, staff, families and wider community who shape All Saints Catholic College today.
Tradition and Ambition
The Manning Award for excellence
In 2018, the school launched The Manning Award for Excellence in honour of its rich history.
The award is a year-long programme designed to challenge students and help them develop skills for sixth form, university and life beyond school. Students complete a dissertation-style project on a subject of their choosing, carrying out research and exploring a question linked to their chosen topic.
Through the Manning Award, students are encouraged to think deeply, work independently and grow in confidence as learners.
