We are a friendly, welcoming one-form entry school with seven classes. All Saints is a Church of England Voluntary Aided School and is situated in Datchworth village, in Hertfordshire. Academic standards are high at our school, and we are passionate about children's learning.
We aim to provide a stimulating and caring Christian environment in which children can gain in experience and understanding, and develop to the full their own talents and abilities within the tenets of the Christian faith. Many opportunities are available including instrumental tuition, French and a wide range of sporting activities, including inter-school sports matches.
Our pupils are polite, well behaved and have excellent attitudes to learning. Our caring staff team work closely together to create a safe and stimulating learning environment which makes learning fun for all. Our parents are fully involved in, and proud of, our school which forms an integral part of our caring and welcoming village community.
Easily accessible from Knebworth, Stevenage, Welwyn Garden City and Watton-at-Stone, we serve the parish of Datchworth and the surrounding areas, offering something special to families who value a village school experience, and the benefits that come with knowing every child and their individual abilities.
