🏆 WOW WOW WOW 🤩 ⚽️

Something very special and exciting happened today that the whole of the All Saints and Matlock community should be proud of!

Our Y6 boys football team took part in (and WON) the EFL kids cup finals at Derby County’s training ground where they faced the 5 other winning schools from the previous round.

It was a highly skilled and competitive day filled with excellent teams and individual players.

Here are the results:
Game 1 vs Willington won 1-0
Game 2 vs Curzon won 2-1
Game 3 vs Cavendish Close won 1-0
Game 4 vs Heath Fields won 2-1
Game 5 vs Markeaton drew 1-1

We finished top of the table in 1st place with 13 points and an unbeaten record! 🥇

This now means…
-We will go on to represent Derby County Football Club against the 11 other winning schools from all the other northern Championship teams. 🐏
-Derby County Football Club will be coming into school soon to present us with our engraved trophy in an assembly.
-We will be provided with Derby County kits for the upcoming regional competition.

This is an absolutely outstanding achievement that we should all be celebrating!

Good luck in the regional finals boys. 1 more round and Wembley beckons! 🏟️

🌍 Miss Newbould’s Adventure in India!

Fri 16 Jan 2026

We are thrilled to share an update from Miss Newbould, who is currently in India working with our link school and sharing her expertise.

So far, she has had an incredible experience! On her first few days, Miss Newbould visited the Udayan project, which supports families affected by leprosy. It was inspiring for her to see the amazing work this project is doing to make a real difference in the local community.

She then travelled to our link school in Dum Dum, where she received a fabulous welcome filled with songs and smiles! Miss Newbould loved reading stories to the children—“We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” was a big hit!

She has also been working closely with teachers at the school to plan learning activities and share ideas. Collaboration like this is such a wonderful way to learn from each other and strengthen our global connections.

And guess what? She even managed to have a video call with year 3 back home!

We can’t wait to hear more about her experiences and the exciting things she will bring back to share with us. Stay tuned for more updates!

Snow Closure - Friday 9th January 2026

Fri 09 Jan 2026

Due to the heavy snow across the local and wider area, combined with the poor driving conditions, school will be closed today for all children.

As you can appreciate many staff travel into school and, despite best preparations, are snowed in, and unable to travel into school. This means that we are unfortunately unable to safely open our school site, unable to provide catering and unable to provide safe staffing levels.

Staff from school will be sharing some available learning via the school website by mid morning (10:30 a.m.) which children can access to help them practise key skills. We hope there’s also time to enjoy the unusual heavy snow.
