SIAMS

St Augustine’s provides a haven where meeting the needs of the multi-faith community it serves are paramount.

Nurturing support for the whole school community is exceptional. A genuine celebration of diversity, based around the value of respect, helps to create a culture of equity. Consequently, adults and pupils feel safe and understand that they are loved for the unique person they are.

SIAMS inspection focuses on the impact of the Church school's Christian vision on pupils and adults.  

Inspectors seek answers to six key questions.

IQ1: How does the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision enable pupils and adults to flourish?  

IQ2: How does the curriculum reflect the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision?

IQ3: How is collective worship enabling pupils and adults to flourish spiritually?  

IQ4: How does the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision create a culture in which pupils and adults are treated well?  

IQ5: How does the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision create an active culture of justice and responsibility?  

IQ6: Is the religious education curriculum effective (with reference to the expectations set out in the Church of England’s Statement of Entitlement for Religious Education)?

Inspectors make one of two judgements:

The inspection findings indicate that the school is living up to its foundation as a Church school, and is enabling pupils and adults to flourish.

Or

The inspection findings indicate that the school has strengths, but that there are also issues that leaders need to address as a matter of priority.
