All Saints’ Church School is set to produce well-rounded leaders through excellence in academics and character development with special attention to individual talents. Our vision is to be the school of first choice for providing quality education in a caring environment guided by Christian principles.

The beginning of All Saints’ Church School may be traced to the coming together of people of similar interests for the education of their children during the months following Nigeria’s political independence. A Nursing Educator, Mrs Doreen Horne, was approached by the wife of a young missionary to assist in getting All Saints’ Church, Jericho to provide a platform for a new English-speaking school suitable for the children of young expatriates working in Ibadan. Many of the expatriates were then living around Jericho, Links Reservation, Iyanganku, Onireke and Bodija. About the same time, the Akinkugbe family was considering sending their children to the University of Ibadan staff school. But the thought of commuting from the other end of Ibadan made it easy for them to be convinced to co-found a school nearer the centre of the city. All Saints’ Church agreed to host the School, possibly convinced by John Horne (Doreen’s husband) who was then the secretary to the Church Committee. A Committee of interested parents and members of the Church was set up to nurture the idea into reality. Chief Akinkugbe was Chairman of the school’s Management Committee and Mrs Horne was Secretary. The school opened shop with seven pupils on roll on 9th October, 1961, accommodated inside the Railway Compound and using improvised facilities. In their words (expressed in minutes of their meetings), the Committee decided to found a school that would be ‘as good as Corona School in Lagos and the University of Ibadan Staff School in Ibadan’. As demanded by the educational laws of the time regarding the establishment of voluntary agency schools, the group decided to submit the name of the Anglican Bishop of Ibadan to the Western Region’s Ministry of Education as the proprietor of the School. Not long after opening, the number of pupils increased enough to require renting an additional building inside the Railway Compound for the main school and a small bungalow at Kudeti Avenue, Onireke for the Nursery/Infant section. The School remained in these locations until April 1966. The first Head Teacher (more of the coordinator of the growing school) was Mrs Okubadejo. Later, we had Mrs Jenny Salako who was assisted by Miss Ogunbodede (later Mrs Olowe) in the Infant Section. Some of the other early teachers include: Miss Hall, Mrs D.M. Horne, Mrs Langford, Mrs Esan, Mrs Oyawoye and Mrs T. Kolawole. Chief Olu Akinkugbe remained the Chairman of the Management Committee and later Board of Managers till 1989, a period of over 27 years. During this period, he was instrumental to securing land in the exclusive area of Jericho Reservation and piloting the building of the blocks of classrooms now on the school’s permanent site. People like Mr. Godwin Brown, Mrs R Brain, Lady Quashie-Idun, Mrs Brunning, Mr. R. Hughes, Mr. Myers, Mr. D Mayer, Mr. & Mrs Keay, Mr. Lokulo-Sodipe, Mr. Richmond, Mr. Cook, Mrs Spencer, Mrs Croally, Mr. Lennox, Mrs C.F. Oredugba, Mrs Duffus, Miss Hecklotts, Mrs Davies also gave time, skill and money towards the project. Mrs N Oniyinde came in early as the School’s Secretary. During this period, the school witnessed phenomenal growth even though conscious attempts were made to keep the population of pupils low. All Saints’ Church School moved to its present site in 1966. The buildings and site layout were designed by Arc D.M. Webster, a parent, working with the Design Group. Construction was executed by T.A. Oni & Sons, whose Chairman was also a parent, under a contractor-financed arrangement. Other benefactors of the school at that time included Z.O. Ososanya. The buildings in the school have increased over the years. There are now 22 classrooms, an Art Room, a Music Room, a Computer Laboratory, E-Learning Room, Sick Bay and Administrative offices as well as a Library Block.
