• Collective Worship pupil questionnaire

    • Introduction to SIAS
    questions and questionnaires

    We have placed a number of different questionnaires/sets of questions on this part of the website to stimulate your thinking about how you will go about assessing the SIAS (Church of England) aspects of your school

    • Your distinctive Christian character
    • Your collective worship
    • Your RE
    • Your Leadership and Management

    These are by no means the only questions you should be asking but they are examples of what other schools have been trying

    You may wish to send out parental questionnaires as part of the OfSTED questions and produce them in the same format

    Alternatively, you may not want the church school aspects to be "bolt-on" to OfSTED but as a set of important questions in themselves

    Please use the website ideas as guidance and as a "starter" for your thinking about how you include all stakeholders ion SIAS self-evaluation
