Agreed Syllabus for Worcestershire
As a Church of England school we deliver the Worcestershire Agreed Religious Education Syllabus together with Understanding Christianity (a national syllabus). Understanding Christianity is set out via this link: https://www.understandingchristianity.org.uk/
Our Religious Education curriculum not only covers Christianity, but includes the study of other religions and non-religious beliefs too. These include Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism and Humanism. Whilst our ethos is based on Christian values, we welcome all faiths and communities, encouraging understanding, tolerance and inclusion. We equip all of our pupils to approach faith and non-religious beliefs in an informed and theologically investigative way.

SIAMS inspection
"Love one another, as I have loved you." John 13:34
The SIAMS inspection focuses on the impact of the Church school’s Christian vision on pupils and adults. This involves looking at the school’s Christian vision, the provision the school makes because of this vision and how effective this provision is in enabling all pupils to flourish.
The evaluation of our provision has one inspection question: how effective is the school’s distinctive Christian vision, established and promoted by leadership at all levels, in enabling pupils and adults to flourish?
This is explored through seven strands:
- Vision and Leadership
- Wisdom, Knowledge and Skills
- Character Development: Hope, Aspiration and Courageous Advocacy
- Community and Living Well Together
- Dignity and Respect
- The impact of collective worship
- The effectiveness of religious education
