Inspection of Church Schools (cont.)

Amongst other things inspectors will seek evidence of:

  • spiritual development through pupils’ beliefs, religious or otherwise, and how these inform their perspective on life and their interest in and respect for other people’s feelings and values;

  • a sense of enjoyment in learning about themselves and others;

  • a willingness to reflect on their experiences;

  • the ability to know right from wrong and a readiness to apply this;

  • an understanding of the consequences of their actions;

  • an interest in ethical issues and the ability to investigate these and offer reasoned opinions;

  • an understanding of cultural diversity and tolerance towards different faiths.
