Reflection – Seeing the Extraordinary
Reflection – Seeing the Extraordinary Seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary Much of our work in schools is often considered to be ordinary but to the children and young people it can be extraordinary and transformational
Reflection – Seeing the Extraordinary
Reflection – Seeing the Extraordinary O Lord, Meet us today in the ordinary rhythms of our working lives. We invite you to come and breathe your life into ours. May your love fill our hearts and may it overflow into the lives of others. May your hope well up inside us, bring new vision to our lives and light up our reactions and decisions. May this ordinary day become extraordinary because of you. In Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen

Diocesan Board of Education (DBE) Vision Shared vision for children and young people in schools and churches Links with wider diocesan strategy of Reach, Grow, Sustain
Diocesan Board of Education (DBE) Vision Growing Faith is the vision set by the House of Bishops to ensure a national commitment to achieve a significant culture change within the church so that every aspect of mission and ministry is seen through the lens of what it means for ministry with children, young people and households. It will flow into the type of relationships encouraged between schools and churches, and how these are developed to resource and support households to grow in faith together.

SIAMS: In a good Church school…. • Curriculum planning is well constructed, coherent and balanced (theology, philosophy and human /social science). • Statutory obligations are met and RE is largely in line with SoE • Assessment informs planning securing accurate challenge and support for pupils • Good practice is shared with involvement with local, regional and national groups. • RE teaching and learning is consistently good, progress good against local expectations and national averages. • Vulnerable pupils flourish in RE 18
SIAMS: Reflecting the SoE RE is part of vision and leadership. • The SIAMS evaluation schedule assesses the way RE contributes to the outworking of church school’s Christian vision. • It highlights the responsibility of church school leaders to ensure that pupils flourish academically through the provision of high-quality RE. • In addition, in voluntary aided schools, a judgement on standards in teaching and learning in RE is included in the SIAMS report. 19
The legal situation in Church schools • In voluntary aided schools, RE must be taught in accordance with the trust deed: the RE statement of entitlement will help schools interpret that legal requirement. • In foundation and voluntary controlled schools with a religious character, RE must be taught according to the locally agreed syllabus for RE unless parents request RE in accordance with the trust deed of the school. • In academies and free schools RE must be taught in accordance with the funding agreement. 20
What do Ofsted expect? • Ofsted’s lead inspector will check the section 48 arrangements, including when the next inspection is due, and will write about that under ‘Leadership and management’ (para 35) • All pupils in maintained schools are expected to study the national curriculum subjects, religious education and age appropriate sex education. Academies are expected to offer all pupils a curriculum similar in breadth and ambition to the national curriculum, including the requirements to teach English, mathematics, science and religious education (para 159) 21
