What the school offers its staff
All Saints’ RC High School is a thriving, faith-filled community where Gospel values are lived out daily through the school’s motto: “Let your light shine.”
As recognised in the 2025 Catholic Schools Inspectorate report, the school provides a “strong sense of community and inclusive welcome” rooted in exceptional pastoral care and a deep commitment to every child, especially the most vulnerable. Staff and students alike speak of belonging to a family where each individual is “known, valued, and loved.” The school serves the Catholic community within the Rossendale Valley and has strong partnerships with its seven Catholic feeder primary schools.
Religious Education lies at the heart of school life, with a curriculum that is dynamic, reflective, and centred on helping pupils grow in faith and understanding. Students enjoy their RE lessons, valuing how they connect to real life and deepen their moral and spiritual awareness. Students are taught in mixed-ability groups from Year 7, reflecting the school’s inclusive ethos and commitment to ensuring that every child can thrive. The Religious Education department is well underway with the delivery of the new Religious Education Directory, offering a rich and engaging curriculum that nurtures faith and understanding.
Opportunities for prayer, worship, and service are woven throughout the school year, with students taking part in liturgies, charity work, and chaplaincy initiatives that bring Catholic social teaching to life. The school has entered an exciting new chapter with its move into a purpose-built building designed to enrich both learning and worship. For a teacher of Religious Education, All Saints’ offers the chance to be part of a dedicated team within a joyful, faith-led community that nurtures pupils to flourish academically, spiritually, and personally.
Commitment to safeguarding
