STATUTORY INSPECTION of ANGLICAN AND METHODIST SCHOOLS REPORT
On 2nd February 2017 Crowton School was Inspected by the Church of England's Education Office.
All Church of England dioceses and the Methodist Church use the Church of England Education Office's framework for the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) under Section 48 of the Education Act 2005.
We were delighted and very proud to achieve an OUTSTANDING inspection, which showed we were outstanding in all of the four core areas:
- 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?

In the Autumn term- we will be looking at 'Hope.'
The term leads us onto new topics. We continue to choose new topics for discussion each week in our collective worship and include a big question that we discuss with the children.
Keep an eye on our ethos board of achievement- each week new achievements are added such as music certificates, sporting achievements and even reading awards.
We give our Star of the Week certificates every week alongside our Value Awards. The ethos team quite often include drama in their collective worship and are always keen to develop ideas for competitions.
The Autumn term is going to be a busy one!

Transformation of Environments and Social Responsibility
During the first half of Autumn Term, our topic in literacy has been ‘transformation of environments and social responsibility’. Each class group have been studying a text;
Class 1 – The Something (Rebecca Cobb)
Class 2 – The Greenling (Levi Pinfold)
Class 3 – The Promise (Nicola Davies)
Class 4 – (Varmints (Helen Ward)
To enhance our learning the whole school were involved in a literacy project led by a specialist education company, Literacy Counts. This included a series of professional workshops for all classes, including dramatisation - to encourage evocative writing; art -developed from gathering words, phrases and poem extracts; music – inspired by the children, using extracts of figurative language, including phrases and ideas put together in the form of a school anthem.
We invited parents, family, friends and Governors to watch a performance of our new school anthem entitled, We Achieve, We Believe. Matt Baker, the musician involved with the writing of the anthem, was here to accompany the children. There was an opportunity afterwards to view the gallery of artwork and see the children’s written work in their classes.

Music for Life can accommodate almost any child who books a course before the summer because it designs a new timetable from scratch every year to do so. After that, additional places may be available during the year but they tend to be more limited. It is important to note that anyone wishing to try a course of lessons in September needs to book before the end of this term (certainly before August) to be sure of a place when school reopens.
Courses of lessons can be paid for in full or in monthly installments in a variety of ways including by debit or credit cards. Music for Life has developed a website to make it easier for parents and guardians to book, renew and pay for instrumental lessons online. Financial support with the cost of lessons may be available in cases of hardship. Please contact Music for Life before booking if you would like to discuss.
Involvement in music offers young people something very special. 130 schools, together with thousands of parents, young people, professional musicians and music teachers would tell you they feel Music for Life offers something special, too! Music for Life exists to engage children in high quality music making and to nurture and develop an interest many will have for life.
We are proud to have had the opportunity to work with some amazing young people over the last 21 years and hope that your child may join us soon!
