Geography Mission Statement The Geography Department at All Saints Catholic College aims to promote and engage young people with geographical concepts, to encourage questioning, investigation and critical thinking about issues affecting the world and people’s lives, now and in the future. The study of geography stimulates an interest in and a sense of wonder about places. It helps young people make sense of a complex and dynamically changing world. It explains where places are, how places and landscapes are formed, how people and their environment interact, and how a diverse range of economies, societies and environments are interconnected. It builds on pupils’ own experiences to investigate places at all scales, from the personal to the global. Fieldwork is an essential element of geographical enquiry. Pupils learn to think spatially and use maps, visual images and new technologies, including geographical information systems (GIS), to obtain, present and analyse information. Geography inspires pupils to become global citizens by exploring their own place in the world, their values and their responsibilities to other people, to the environment and to the sustainability of the planet. The department objectives are to give opportunities for pupils to: build on and expand their personal experiences of geography; explore real and relevant contemporary contexts; use a range of approaches to enquiries; use varied resources, including maps, visual media and geographical information systems; undertake fieldwork investigations in different locations outside the classroom, individually and as part of a team; participate in informed responsible action in relation to geographical issues that affect them and those around them; provide access to and promote the use of the ICT; examine geographical issues in the news; investigate important issues of relevance to the UK and globally using a range of skills, including ICT; make links between geography and other subjects, including citizenship and ICT, and areas of the curriculum including sustainability and global dimension. Literacy Statement The Geography Departments provides opportunities to enhance the writing, reading and oral skills of students through lessons and assessments. Students who are literate in Geography are: aware of the features of non-fiction text types that support pupils and enable them to write effectively for these purposes; able to use language that shows the relationship between cause and effect in their writing (E.G. The effect of this is... As a consequence... Consequently... This, in turn, causes...); able to develop an argument and justify their views and opinions; able to use specialist vocabulary; able to use a wide variety of text types (e.g. explanation, information, argument, instruction, etc.); able to scan an index to find appropriate information; able to skim a chapter to see if it is worth a closer read; able to reading texts closely to find precise detail (e.g. about a rainforest).

Educatio Mission Statement ​ The Design and Technology department at All Saints Catholic College ignites, inspires, and develops passion and aspiration in our students. The atmosphere encourages and nurtures their inquisitorial nature, demonstrating and developing ways to problem solve through design; innovating and constructing products using new technologies and machinery that is becoming industry standard, not only in the UK but worldwide. Through the curriculum we aim to provide students with a high quality, engaging foundation into the subject, which excites and develops critical thinking, creative and practical skills. ​ Aims of the Design Technology Department To increase pupils’ knowledge and understanding of Design and Technology To enable pupils to demonstrate effective and designing and making skills by planning, preparing and constructing using a variety of materials and methods, techniques and equipment. Pupils will further develop and demonstrate the principles drawing, rendering and product design. Pupils will deepen and apply their knowledge of the design process. Pupils will develop the creative, technical and practical expertise needed to create their own unique final pieces confidently. KS3 ​ Design and Technology is compulsory for all students in Years 7,8 and 9. Within those three years students gain a foundation knowledge in exploring what is design; the processes that take place between the design brief which fulfils a specific purpose, through the research and planning, to designing their own product, refining the design and finally creating a successful outcome. Students are exposed to a range of skills, techniques, materials and machinery they use and develop competency and confidence in, as they progress through KS3 these skills are re-visited and the level of challenge increases. ​ All pupils will be expected to use a range of traditional tools and modern machinery. Throughout Key Stage 3 pupils will use: 3D Printers Laser Cutter Sewing Machine Sublimator printer Heat press Pillar Drill Wood saw Junior Hacksaws Engineering metalwork files Wire Snips Clay tools Pupils will be exposed to a range of materials including: PLA plastic Wood LED electric circuitry E-Textiles Clay Fabric - Polyester/ Cotton/ Felt In Year 7 students explore what is a design brief and specification and how this informs their design process. They create a 3D printed mobile phone holder aimed at being marketed to teenagers, whilst also considering packaging and environmental needs in a modern society. Students learn to construct a fabric bag, the pattern on the fabric is designed by them and transferred onto the fabric before construction. In Year 8 we design and create a travel board game aimed at teenagers, the counter is 3D printed, while the board is designed on computer, and laser cut. A circuit is then attached to the board to enable a light to switch on when the counter moves across a certain part of the board. In Year 9 students design and invent a crisp packet, intended to be part of an advertising campaign in a shop window to entice new customers. Students design the name and logo/mascot of the crisp packet and create a 3D printed keyring as a “free gift” to be given with the first purchase. They then create their crisp packet in fabric, which includes an e-textile circuit that causes a light to be activated on the packet. KS4 ​ As Design and Technology was introduced into the curriculum in September 2022 we do not currently have a KS4 class. Our current Y7 will be offered the option to study GCSE Design Technology as part of their KS4 option choices. ​ ​ Click below to view our Design Technology curriculum for each year group. ​ Year 7 Year 8 Year 9 KS 3 DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS ​ ​ If you would like to find out more about the Design Technology curriculum, contact our Head of Creative Technologies Ms Moss by emailing a.moss@allsaintscc.org.uk ​​ ​ Design Technology "Great things are not done by impulse, but a series of small things brought together."

Educatio "The office of drama is to exercise, possibly to exhaust, human emotions. The purpose of comedy is to tickle those emotions into an expression of light relief; of tragedy, to wound them and bring the relief of tears. Disgust and terror are the other points of the compass." Laurence Olivier ​ Mission Statement Drama is another popular subject in All Saints Catholic College. The Performing Arts Department is in the heart of the school in new building. The drama studio is a large space with a lighting rig, pull out tiered seating, and the option of being fully black-out for performances. This is an exciting and professional space for our students where they can rehearse and where more intimate concerts and performances take place. This room is perfect for rehearsals and our more intimate concerts. Drama is taught as a discrete subject in KS3. In Year 7, 8 and 9 students explore the nature of the subject, its key skills and processes, through practical activities related to a variety of stimulus material. Some of the topics studied are: Shakespeare, Physical Theatre, Bullying, DNA by Dennis Kelly, Sparkle Shark by Phillip Ridley and Comedy. From Year 10 Drama can be chosen as an option for GCSE (Eduqas) and here there is a greater focus on developing more sophisticated skills and techniques not just in preparation for the exam but these skills that can be carried out beyond the classroom. In drama we deliver a wide variety of different schemes that look at themes, issues and social skills from a global aspect. For example Script work via Blood Brothers and studying practitioners who have influenced theatre and Drama across the world. We have an extensive extra-curricular activities programme, where we have one large scale musical production each year and have been other smaller scale productions throughout the year for example a Christmas show. We are currently forging strong links with local theatres such as the Bush Theatre and the Tricycle; there we have trips to see live performances in the West End and Fringe theatre. The Drama Department aims to: stimulate the imagination of our students; encourage self-confidence; develop an ability to effectively communicate both verbally and physically; acquire a good understanding of the history, nature and function of Theatre and theatrical skills; provide a broad and exciting experience for students; learn subject specific skills such as performance and directing; promote respect and appreciation of all cultures – particularly relevant in our culturally rich world; develop lively, enquiring minds and the ability to question and argue rationally. Literacy Statement The Drama Department provides opportunities to enhance the writing, reading and oral skills of students through lessons and assessments. Students who are literate in Drama can: use their speaking and listening skills to help them make progress; use subject-specific vocabulary; write a critical analysis of their own and the work of others; actively explore and write about specific genres, styles and traditions from social and historical contexts; discriminate, think and evaluate critically and make connections between different types of dramatic performances; identify and explore the different acting styles; describe, compare and evaluate performances; suggest improvements to their own and others’ work; commenting on how the performer’s intentions have been achieved; refine and improve their work through self and peer assessment. ​ Click below to view our Drama 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 Drama curriculum, contact our Head of Performing Arts Ms Vojvodic by emailing e.vojvodic@allsaintscc.org.uk ​ Drama "Act today in such a way that you need not blush tomorrow."

Schola Cantorum The ASCC Schola Cantorum was established in April 2021 and made their debut later that year, on 14th July 2021 at the Celebration Mass. Tracing its origins back to the Middle Ages, All Saints’ very own Director of Musical Life, Mr Bick has brought this medieval papal tradition to the heart of Ladbroke Grove. Established in the 6th century by Pope Gregory I, the Schola Cantorum, (which literally means ‘school for singing’) specialized in music for papal liturgies and became the model for modern-day cathedral choirs. One of Mr Bick’s largest changes to the Schola tradition is the introduction of girls to the choir. Traditionally, the Schola would consist only of boys or men, however in 2021 over half of the 14 founding members are female. Today, after a highly competitive audition process and following the recent addition of carefully selected Y7 students, the number of students in the Schola Cantorum stands at 23, with a 50/50 split between boys and girls. The dedication and determination of our Schola students has been second to none and should serve as inspiration to all our students. They arrive at 8am prompt every morning to rehearse material for their next engagement and to practice their tuning, tempo and aural skills. They also attend individual singing lessons once a week, taught by Mr Slimings, a trained singing professional and recent addition to our staff community. ​ One of the most exciting aspects of our Schola is the magnitude of opportunities it will create for our students. The long term goal is for the Schola to be singing in mass each week, either in school or next door at St Charles. As times goes on, we hope to expand the locations of the Schola’s performances to beyond the gates of the school and out into the local community. Mr Bick’s ultimate ambition is to take the Schola on tour and is hopeful that the experience will set the students up to gain choral scholarships at Oxford and Cambridge. It’s ambitious, but aspirations are high at All Saints. Schola Cantorum Explore

The next review date will be September 2024. ​ ​ ​ ​ Careers Explore Provider Access Legislation The PAL asserts that schools with KS3 and KS4 cohorts must provide at least four encounters with approved providers of apprenticeships and technical education for all their students: Two encounters for pupils during the ‘first key phase’ (year 8 or 9) that are mandatory for all pupils to attend Two encounters for pupils during the ‘second key phase’ (year 10 or 11) that are mandatory for all pupils to attend ​ This legislation is a key mechanism to further help learners understand and take-up, not just apprenticeships, but wider technical education options such as T-Levels and Higher Technical Qualifications. During Year 9, all students at All Saints will have had at least two encounters with approved providers of apprenticeships and technical education. This will be completed as part of the GCSE options process in the Trinity term. Our aim is to ensure students have considered their long term futures when making their GCSE choices. ​ During Year 10, all students at All Saints will have had at least two encounters with approved providers of apprenticeships and technical education. In addition, students will take part in a taster day at a local college, which offers technical qualifications. ​ During Year 11, all students at All Saints will have had at least four encounters with approved providers of apprenticeships and technical education. This will take place during many of their Michaelmas assemblies, as students prepare to apply for post-16 pathways. ​ ​ ​ Year 9 Options ​ In Year 9 you will get the chance to select the GCSEs you would like to take. You will get to choose some subjects, but there are some subjects you have to take. These are known as core subjects: ​ English Language and English Literature Maths Combined Science or Triple Science (which covers physics, biology and chemistry) Religious Studies. ​ You can then pick three GCSE subjects you want to do in the following three areas: ​ Creative Arts Humanities Modern foreign languages ​ It can help you to study a range of subject areas at this stage so you can find out more about what you like and have a wider range of study options when you make your next big choices at 16. You will need to get a grade 4 pass in English and maths. If you do not achieve at least grade 4 you will need to retake them while at a further education institution to achieve this grade if you need to. ​ ​ Year 10 Work Experience ​ Every student in Year 10 will be offered the opportunity to undertake a one-week Work Experience programme during the Summer Term.
