Collective Worship & SIAMS

Collective worship – Roots and Fruits

We use Roots and Fruits for our collective worship.

Roots and Fruits provides creative collective worship for primary schools based in Christian values themes over a period of two years. Rooted in Bible teaching, twelve Christian values represent the fruit that grows as the teaching is lived out in everyday life.

Our value for Summer 2 value is Respect.

Respect is…. 

Readiness to listen 

Everyone being valued 

Showing appreciation 

Praying for people 

Expressing opinions sensitively 

Caring for our environment 

Treating property carefully

A Prayer for Respect 

Father God 

Open our eyes to value and appreciate all people. 

Help us to recognise what we have in common 

and respect what makes each of us unique. 

Amen.

What is SIAMS and what do they do?

The National Society's Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) framework is used in all Section 48 inspections of Church of England schools and in the denominational inspection of academies. 

The principal objective of SIAMS inspection is to evaluate the distinctiveness and effectiveness of the school as a church school.

Towards this objective, inspectors seek answers to four key questions.

• How well does the school, through its distinctive Christian character, meet the needs of all learners?
• What is the impact of collective worship on the school community?
• How effective is the Religious Education? (in VA schools and academies)
• How effective are the leadership and management of the school as a church school?
