All Saints' Family of Schools Development
Officer
We appointed Jennie Cormell to the position of All Saints’ Family of Schools Development Officer in July 2010. The aim of the Family of Schools Development Officer is to bring the schools together, promoting Catholic education at a secondary and primary level, whilst also coordinating extended services for the family.
If you would like to contact Jennie please do not hesitate to email
on cormell.j@allsaints.notts.sch.uk or by phone on 07710364370.
This is a Government initiative which aims to create schools which support families and their communities.
It has five strands:
Childcare – Families should be given reliable information on childcare available in the area. Childcare can be provided on school site from the hours of 8am to 6pm, if there is a sustainable need.
Varied Menu of Activities – Children and young people should be able to take part in enjoyable and active pursuits outside of school hours, such as sports and art clubs.
Parenting Support – Families should be supported by the school. This can range from parent meetings about their child’s transition to secondary school, to setting up family learning sessions.
Swift and Easy Access – Young people and their families should be signposted to outside agencies who can offer them specialist support if needed. For example All Saints’ provides access to a Family Social Worker.
Community Access – Schools should provide access to facilities such as IT, sports and performance area to community groups, where possible.
The All Saints’ Family of Schools is already meeting many of these objectives, and actively seeks to build on, and improve services.
Our aim is to keep the All Saints’ Family of Schools in the news, which helps to tell our communities about the positive work we do with children and young people.
We have a good relationship with our local newspapers the Mansfield Chad, Newark Advertiser and Worksop Guardian. Our schools have also been featured on radio stations Mansfield 103.2 and BBC Radio Nottingham.
We also keep our school communities in touch through The School Gate newsletter, which comes out every half term. It has information about recent events, newspaper coverage, good news and ‘diary dates’. To see previous editions, click here.
Schools budgets are always tight, so we actively seek funding from other sources to support our activities.
At All Saints’ we are developing a new school allotment and have bid for Lottery funding to support the project.
All Saints’ Sports Council has also bid for money from the
Nottinghamshire Youth Initiative Fund to buy two new trampolines to
help continue the success of the after school club.
