History Of Our School

All Saints CE Primary School first opened its doors in 1856, funded through subscriptions from the local Christian community. From its beginnings as a single Victorian classroom, the school has grown and developed into the thriving four-class school we know today, while still retaining the warmth, character, and strong community spirit on which it was founded. Throughout its long history, the school has witnessed remarkable moments in history – from the reign and passing of Queen Victoria, through two World Wars, the arrival of a new millennium, and even mankind’s first steps on the Moon. Through every generation, All Saints has remained at the heart of the local community, providing children with a caring and inspiring place to learn.In 2006, the school proudly celebrated its 150th anniversary. To commemorate this special occasion, a new date stone was laid. Behind the original Victorian stone, a time capsule had been discovered containing coins of the realm and a list of dignitaries who attended the school’s opening ceremony. Following in the footsteps of our Victorian predecessors, a new time capsule was placed behind the new stone. It included the original coins, modern-day coins, letters written by the children to future generations, and examples of school work stored on both microfiche and DVD – preserving a snapshot of school life for years to come. Today, we continue to honour our rich heritage while looking forward with ambition, ensuring that All Saints remains a place where children can truly Love, Live and Learn together. We are excited to be celebrating our school’s 170th anniversary in 2026.
