Educatio “There can be no more important subject than English in the school curriculum. English is a pre-eminent world language, it is at the heart of our culture and it is the language medium in which most of our pupils think and communicate. Literacy skills are also crucial to pupils learning in other subjects across the curriculum.” - Ofsted Moving English Forward Mission Statement The mission of the English Department at All Saints Catholic College is to promote literacy – specifically the ability to speak, read, write, and think critically. This mission includes the development of literate students who can gather, analyse, and communicate information effectively as well as think creatively and draw independent conclusions. These are the key skills necessary to our students securing a successful future in today’s increasingly information-based economy. Furthermore students are taught to develop a reflective independent approach to extended analytical and creative writing. ​ Students are introduced to the skills of critical thinking, reading, and writing from Year 7 culminating in GCSE English and GCSE English Literature examinations in Year 11. The department celebrates the importance of independent reading through the weekly literacy strategies and in exploring a range of significant texts within the canon of English literature. The department’s objectives include the development of: confidence in communication; independent thinking and critical skills that enable students to assess the values that literature expresses; analytical skills to question the ways in which art and literature represent and promote certain value systems; the ability to write effective critical argument in response to the content and presentation of texts and writers’ ideas, attitudes and feelings; the ability to explore the cultural diversity of literature; the ability to write technically effective prose; the ability to use ICT to acquire and process knowledge; exploring the place and importance of the visual arts in supporting and enhancing understanding of literature; the skills to realise each student’s own intellectual and creative goals.

Educatio Mission Statement The Mission of the Modern Foreign Language Department is to expand students' horizons by teaching them other languages and introducing them to other cultures as well as to develop proficiency in listening, speaking, reading and writing in order to prepare them for any kind of language endeavour. Foreign language lessons give pupils the opportunity to develop their linguistic competence, extend their knowledge of how language works and explore the differences and similarities between French, Spanish and English. Students learn how language can be manipulated and applied in different ways, thus they express themselves with increasing confidence, independence and creativity. The development of communication skills, together with understanding of the structure of language, lay the foundations for future study of other languages and support the development of literacy skills in a pupil’s own language. Learning foreign languages raises awareness of the multilingual and multicultural world and introduces an international dimension to pupils’ learning, giving them an insight into their own culture and those of others. Languages are part of the cultural richness of our society and the world in which we live and work. Learning languages contributes to mutual understanding, a sense of global citizenship and personal fulfilment. Pupils learn to appreciate different countries, cultures, communities and people. The ability to understand and communicate in another language is a lifelong skill for education, employment and leisure in this country and throughout the world. Literacy Statement The Modern Foreign Languages Department provides opportunities to enhance the writing, reading and oral skills of students through lessons and assessments. Students who are literate in Modern Foreign Languages: use well-developed reading strategies, which are not language-specific; use strategies for learning vocabulary and spellings; use English phonology and grammar to support learning in a foreign language; identify adverbs; understand the terms ‘active’ and ‘passive’; identify pronouns; begin using the term ‘sentence’; use the term ‘verb’ appropriately; understand the term ‘tense’; use the terms ‘singular’ and ‘plural’ appropriately; use the term ‘adjective’ correctly; use the terms ‘vowel’ and ‘consonant’; identify the imperative form in instructional writing. ​ Click below to view our French curriculum for each year group. ​ Year 7 Year 8 Year 9 Year 10 Year 11 ​ Click below to view our Spanish curriculum for each year group. ​ Year 7 Year 8 Year 9 Year 10 Year 11 ​ If you would like to find out more about the Modern Foreign Languages curriculum, contact our Head of MFL Ms Arana by emailing b.arana@allsaintscc.org.uk ​ Modern Foreign Languages "Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible."

Students at All Saints Catholic College are no strangers to seeing camera crews dotted around the school, owing to our very own TV channel - 'All Saints TV'. However, a sense of intrigue spread up and down the corridors on Monday 14th November as a second film crew were spotted shooting footage. Those cameras belonged to the BBC, who had paid us a visit in order to film a special segment for their flagship evening programme, 'The One Show'. Throughout the day, speculation mounted as to why the BBC cameras had chosen to spend a day with us. Afterall, it's not every day that this happens. Rumours began to swirl around the school that they were here to surprise a member of staff with some exciting news, but who was that member of staff and what was the big secret they were so determined to keep under wraps? Anyone lucky enough to be in the room for the announcement was sworn to secrecy and vowed not to speak about what they had been a part of until the episode had been broadcast. On Friday 25th November it was time for that secret to be shared with the world, and so at 7:00pm staff, students and parents all tuned in to BBC1 to see All Saints Catholic College take pride of place on 'The One Show' and watch Mr O'Neill discover that he had been named Headteacher of the Year in a Secondary School at the Pearson National Teaching Awards. Having been named as a Silver Winner earlier this year, Mr O'Neill knew that he was in the running to scoop the overall prize. However, the look on his face when he was told he was the Gold Award winner, in front of an ecstatic group of Year 7 students in our very own version of 'The One Show' studio, clearly showed that this was a huge surprise and that the secret had been superbly kept. Mission accomplished for all those who were in the know. The Pearson National Teaching Awards are the 'Oscars' of the teaching profession, and this is a wonderful achievement for Mr O'Neill, testament to the incredible journey All Saints Catholic College has been on since he became Headteacher. On behalf of everyone associated with All Saints Catholic College, congratulations Mr O'Neill. WATCH below to see the moment that Mr O'Neill discovered the news.
