Religious Education

We promote the teachings of Christianity through direct teaching and learning during RE lessons, collective acts of worship and through the general ethos of the school.  The content of the RE curriculum is based on the Diocese of Guildford guidelines.

Daily acts of worship are very important in our Church school, however, we recognise the legal right of parents to withdraw their child from their daily worship.

S.I.A.S.

A SIAS inspection takes place every three years as does an Ofsted inspection. The inspection process sets out to answer a set of key questions designed to evaluate the extent to which Church schools are "distinctively and recognizably Christian institutions". It uses the same grading system as Ofsted: 1 outstanding 2 good 3 satisfactory 4 inadequate Church of England schools provide education for those of Christian faith, other faiths and no faith. They have a clear emphasis on meeting the needs of all learners. Click here to read our recent report.
