All Saints CofE Primary Academy is a school that students describe as 'small and mighty'.

Situated on School Lane, Bednall, it may only have around 30 students, but it's central to its small Staffordshire village community.

Led by a strong sense of Christian values, All Saints is a school where community and family are central, and their children are always at the forefront of everything they do.

So embedded is the sense of community and family that each teacher knows each student by name and sight, with many of the staff members having previously been students themselves.

Walking around All Saints, it's plain to see this school's dedication to fostering a family feeling.

Teachers are met with friendly greetings, and each student is polite and kind, and above all else, filled with a joy for learning that could be felt with every smile.

Headteacher Zoe Scott said: "Children describe our school as 'small and mighty'. We may be small, but we can do anything we can do anything we set our minds to.
