SIAMS - Church schools inspection
The school was originally built by the Elton Family as a Sunday school before becoming a school to support the education of children within the East Clevedon Community. All Saints Church of England Primary School has a Christian foundation that all staff and governors value which is supported by the Bible reference Proverbs 22: 6.
The school’s Christian character influences its approach to educational experiences, the way staff interact with children and parents, the behavioural policy and how religious education lessons are taught.
We hold a daily act of Christian Worship and being locked just opposite the church benefit from a very close working relationship. Children attend a weekly Collective Worship in Church and all main Christian Celebrations are held in church. At times the church building is used by the staff and children to support the curriculum.
The very close working relationship also means that the school rent and use the church hall as a school hall and the Glebe field as a playing field for PE lessons and outside playtimes. During the rebuild of the school, the church was also used to teach in, and hold meetings.
Our Siams inspection (sept 2024) identified the following strengths.
• The clarity of the vision embedded by the school’s inspirational leadership. It empowers all to be ‘inspired to learn’ and become lifelong learners. As a result, the vision has a profound impact on pupils’ wellbeing, behaviour and achievement.
• The school’s curriculum explicitly promotes creativity and curiosity and is highly motivating. In this way, pupils grow in confidence and feelings of self-worth.
• Collective worship is central to life at All Saints. It provides meaningful moments in which all can grow spiritually. This is due to the powerful impact of the vision.
• The school creates a culture of exceptional care and encouragement. This is inspired by the vision of a ‘nurturing environment’, reflecting Christian care for its community. This ensures that adults and pupils are treated well.
• Very effective leadership in religious education (RE) has established a relevant and challenging curriculum which enhances pupils’ learning. As a result, they enjoy learning in RE. This has a positive impact on their understanding of a range of faiths and worldviews including Christianity
