From the All Hallows Catholic High School
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to All Hallows Catholic High School and to this website, which is meant to provide you a glimpse into life in Penwortham. Our mission statement, "Growing Together in the Spirit of Christ's Love," perfectly captures who we believe we are as a Catholic high school in the Archdiocese of Liverpool. We are very much a team at All Hallows, where staff, pupils, parents and governors work very closely to ensure that our pupils enjoy their time with us and perform to the best of their abilities in whatever field they feel comfortable. Our most recent OFSTED Inspection in 2013 rated us Outstanding' in all areas of the school and the Section 48 Inspection undertaken by the Archdiocese of Liverpool in the same week also gave us 'Outstanding' in every aspect of the life of a Catholic School. We work incredibly hard to uphold the excellent standards for which All Hallows has always been recognised, and we are immensely proud of these accomplishments. The core of what we do as a school is care for the individual. I welcome you to this website in the hopes that it will give you a sense of the community we have at All Hallows.
