SIAMS inspection works on the expectation that schools will carry out ongoing self-evaluation of their effectiveness as a church school. The session will include input on principles of good self-evaluation and time for schools to work on their own self-evaluation with support from the course facilitator.

This two-day course will look at religious and non-religious worldviews other that Christianity including Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Humanism.

This course is mandatory for foundation governors who are new or have been reappointed to a church school, and encouraged for those who wish to refresh their knowledge and understanding.

Fascinating and free talk from acclaimed author Georgina Clarke, on faith in crime fiction and why religious people make good sleuths!

Termly update for Governors and Governance Professionals (Clerks).

This event is firstly for new ALMs, but is open to existing ALMs and anyone else who is interested. When we engage in ministry, it is important that we root ourselves not only in scripture and the faith of the church (our previous two sessions in this series), but above all in prayer, cultivating our own relationship with God. For clergy, there is an expectation that this will involve praying forms of morning and evening prayer authorised by the church. For lay ministers, there is a strong encouragement both to find a consistent pattern of personal prayer, and to engage in the corporate praying life of the church, and not only when we are ministering.
