    Central to All Saints Mission as a Catholic College is that weshould love and serve. We strive to do this by responding

    to the needs o those around us. We actively seek to ensure

    that our students recognise their obligations to others

    and understand that service to others provides us with an

    opportunity to show the love o God, and share our talents

    An act o collective worship takes place at least once every

    day. During Tutor Time there is a designated time during

    which the whole College community says prayers. The

    collective worship could be in either orm room or in a year

    group assembly, and this varies rom day to day. Students are

    expected to participate as appropriate, to take a lead in theact o worship, be silent and to show respect.

    Mass is celebrated at the start o term, on all Holy Days o

    students are invited to take part in the annual pilgrimage to

    Lourdes with the Diocese o Leeds.

    Behaviour for Learning at All Saints

    Behaviour or Learning (BL) is an integral part o our College

    ethos. It is a behaviour management system which covers

    all aspects o behaviour throughout College i.e. towardsother students, sta and the environment both in the

    classroom and around College. Students learn and progress

    most eectively when they are in a secure, sae and happy

    environment and that is what the BL system is designed to

    create and support.

    We believe that all students and sta in All Saints are

    important valued individuals and deserve to be treated and

    spoken to with respect. How students behave aects their

    progress and that o those around them. Everyone has the

    right to learn without anyone else disrupting learning. How

    students speak to ellow students and sta, the tone o voicethey adopt and their choice o language is very important

    and at all times should be done in a respectul and courteous

    manner.

    Furthermore, we know that excellent attitudes to learning

    mean excellent results. All sta and students are encouraged

    to be very smart at all times, both in and out o College.Shirts must be always tucked in and ties correctly worn.

    Top buttons must be astened and shoes should be clean.

    Students should take extra care to look smart on the way to

    and rom College and on public transport as they continue

    to represent College during those times.

    BL is not about sanctions, even though they exist, but about

    rewarding students who try their best and do not disrupt the

    learning o others. However, we have sanctions or any anti-

    social behaviour, which are issued through the BL system

    and are based on a ew very simple rules which we ask

    students to observe throughout their time here at All Saints.BL and Punctuality to College

    It is essential that students arrive in College at 08.45 ready

    to start Period 1 at 08.50. I they are late to College they

    will report to the Dining Room and the sta will complete a

    PI Punctuality proorma and text their parent/carer. Oncethis is completed they will be issued with a copy o the P1

    to take with them to their rst activity and show the teacher

    and then take it home to give to their parent/carer. This data

    will be logged on their record and their Tutor inormed. Any

    persistent unauthorised lateness will be ollowed up with

    both student and their parent/carer and appropriate actiontaken and/or sanctions applied. I they have no valid written

    reason or veriable phone call rom their parent/carer

    explaining the circumstances or theirlate arrival a sanction

    will be issued.

    BL in the Classroom

    Praise is at the heart o the BL system and we will regularly

    remind students that we expect the best o them. BL

    rewards and sanctions are linked to Behaviour Targets

    which are displayed in all classrooms and are as ollows:

    To remain silent when the teacher is talking

    To stay on task

    To speak to other students in a polite way

    To not touch another student

    Church or a certicate o reception into the ull communion

    o the Catholic Church will normally evidence this. This

    includes the Eastern Catholic Churches.

    explicit desire to be baptized into the Catholic Church andwho are currently preparing to receive the same by regular

    Looked Ater Child has the same meaning as in section

    22 o the Children Act 1989, and means any child in the

    care o a local authority or provided with accommodation by

    them (e.g. children with oster parents).

    Defned area is a geographical area. Please see boundary

    maps available or inspection in school (boundaries

    determined by the Diocese o Leeds).

    Siblings (brothers and sisters) includes children with

    brothers and sisters (including step-brothers or sistersresiding at the same address) o statutory school age, living

    at the same address, in attendance at the same school, or a

    school on the same site, on the date o admission.

    Twins or triplets (multiple births) - where a amily o

    twins or triplets request admission and i one sibling has beenoered the last place the excepted pupil rule comes in and

    the other twin/triplets are oered a place.

    Live In all categories Live means the childs permanent

    home address. A child is normally regarded as living with a

    parent or guardian and we will use the parent or guardians

    address or admission purposes. You cannot lodge a child

    with a riend or relation in order to gain a place at a school.

    For admission purposes only one address can be used as

    a childs permanent address. When a child lives with more

    than one parent/carer, at dierent addresses, we will use

    the preerence expressed by the parent/carer at the addresswhere the child lives the majority o the time during the

    school week as the main place o residence.

    Random Allocation this is only to be used when the

    last place to be oered would all into one o the two

    categories above ie, children living in a block o fats or

    children who live equidistant rom the school using straight

    line distance criterion. An independent person will be used

    to make the random selection.

    Straight line distance - Distance is measured in a

    straight line rom a childs home address to the school.

    Measurements are calculated using six-gure National GridCo-ordinates taken rom the National Land and Property

    Gazetteer. This grid reerence reers to a point that alls

    within the permanent building structure corresponding to

    the address. The boundary o the building structure or the

    address is derived rom Ordnance Surveys MasterMap. For

    smaller, residential properties the grid reerence marks a

    point near the centre o the building. For larger properties,

    like schools with, or example, multiple buildings and large

    grounds, the grid reerence relates to a point inside the main

    addressable building structure. The distance calculated is

    accurate to within 1 metre.
