Collective worship is a daily gathering where the school community comes together to reflect, pray, and explore shared values. Distinctly Christian yet fully inclusive of children of all faiths and none, it uses storytelling, music, and quiet reflection to foster spiritual growth and a strong sense of moral purpose.

Religious Education (RE) is a core subject that explores the Christian faith alongside other major world religions. It encourages children to think critically about their own beliefs while developing deep respect for diverse cultures, helping them understand the role of faith in society today.

Spiritual development nurtures a child’s inner life, fostering a sense of awe, wonder, and curiosity about the world. It provides pupils with the space to explore big life questions, reflect on their own identity, and develop deep empathy, self-awareness, and resilience.
Flourishing Together: Our SIAMS Framework
At our school, we are deeply committed to creating a warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment where every child and adult can thrive. As a Church of England school, we welcome the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) as a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our ethos and evaluate how we are serving our community.
Our Legal Framework
While SIAMS is a supportive evaluation of our school family, it also fulfils our statutory duties. In line with Section 48 of the Education Act 2005 and The Education (School Inspection) (England) Regulations 2009 (SI1564), all schools designated as having a religious character undergo this specialised Section 48 inspection every five years.
The Heart and Purpose of SIAMS
The true purpose of a SIAMS inspection is to look at the meaningful impact of our distinctive Christian vision on the daily lives of our pupils and staff. It explores how this vision comes to life, enabling our entire, diverse community to flourish, grow together, and experience life in all its fullness.
Our Guiding Question
The inspection is centred on one profoundly beautiful question that guides our school journey every day:
"How then shall we live?"
How This Comes to Life in Our School
To understand how our vision shapes our community, the inspection explores key areas of our daily school life:
Vision and Provision: How our shared theological vision inspires our daily work, shapes our priorities, and creates a nurturing environment for learning.
Spirituality and Character: The gentle ways we support the spiritual growth, resilience, and moral development of every individual child.
Social Action: How we encourage our pupils to look outwards, enabling them to become "courageous advocates" who stand up for others and care for our wider world.
Collective Worship: The inclusive, daily moments of prayer, music, and quiet reflection that bring our whole school family together.
Religious Education: Providing an engaging, high-quality RE curriculum that inspires curiosity, deepens learning, and fosters a profound respect for all faiths and worldviews.
Culture and Continuity: The ways our leadership ensures that our school’s Christian identity remains deeply sustainable, nurturing, and genuinely inclusive for everyone.
