A school that ‘lives out its mission beautifully’

All Hallows Catholic College, Macclesfield, was recently visited by a diocesan inspection team, and was the first high school in the diocese to be inspected under the new national framework for denominational inspections.

The report recognises the College as a ‘welcoming and inclusive school community which bears witness to and promotes the dignity of the young person.’ It also recognises All Hallows as a school that ‘lives out its mission beautifully’ and as a ‘listening school where all voices are welcomed and heard.’

The inspectors agreed that students ‘flourish here, enjoy college, feel safe, and know they are cared for and valued as individuals’, that ‘Staff are proud to work at All Hallows Catholic College’ and ‘Parents are overwhelmingly supportive of the college’s mission and appreciate that its Catholic nature has deepened in recent years’.

Principal, Mr Tim Beesley, wrote to parents & carers saying, ‘Once more we have been acknowledged as a College that we should all be proud of. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved with the inspection, particularly the Religious Education faculty and our Chaplaincy team. I hope you enjoy reading the report, and that you continue to take pride in your own contribution to our success.’
