PRINCIPAL’S WELCOME
‘You are the light that gives light to the world. A city that is built on a hill cannot be hidden. And people don’t hide a light under a bowl. They put the light on a lampstand. Then the light shines for all the people in the house. In the same way, you should be a light for other people. Live so that they will see the good things you do. Live so that they will praise your Father in heaven.’
Matthew 5: 14-16
On behalf of governors, staff and students I would like to welcome you to our College website.
All Hallows Catholic College is an all-ability Voluntary Academy for boys and girls aged 11 to 18. The College serves a wide geographical area of East Cheshire and also draws students from parts of Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Stockport. We welcome all who are seeking a Christian education inspired by the Catholic way of life and faith. In addition to our traditional Catholic community we are pleased to welcome students from other backgrounds. We have a special relationship with the Anglican community through our Church of England partner primary schools. Parents are very supportive of our ethos because they have made an active choice for our College and its values. We are recognised as an outstanding College with a tangible and palpable ethos that combines gospel values, ethical enterprise and an aspiration for all students to be the best that they can be in all dimensions of their lives.
In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus tells us that we are ‘the light that gives light to the world’. We have the fantastic job of developing our youngsters into successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens. It is our job to help them shine! Together, All Hallows’ staff, parents, governors and, most importantly, the young people themselves, make this happen.
Everything we do is guided by our five core values of Honourable Purpose, Respect, Compassion, Co-operation and Stewardship. We believe passionately in the potential of all our young people to ‘Aspire not to have more but to be more’ (Our Mission Statement / Archbishop Oscar Romero).
We hope that this website gives you a taste of life within our College and helps you to discover more about us, the achievements of our students and the exciting opportunities we provide.
