Steyning Grammar School
Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools

• The Christian vision, with its emphasis upon flourishing, permeates and influences all aspects of this large school. It is applied consistently across the four sites. Students are encouraged, supported and helped to be the best they can be.

• The curriculum has been carefully and thoughtfully designed. It allows students to explore and debate questions of meaning, to make connections across the subjects they learn and to develop their spirituality. The character programme, which is inherent to this, is an anchor point in the life of the school.

• Partnership working is highly effective. There is a mutually beneficial partnership with the local churches. It has resulted in the development of a chaplaincy which understands the needs of students and provides strong pastoral care. The partnership with the diocese is very helpful. That with the Bohunt Educational Trust is valued as it provides very good support.

• The religious education (RE) curriculum is extremely well-planned and thought-through. Moral and philosophical questions are its backbone. It has a clear-cut impact on the way students think and live their lives.

• The boarding provision has a highly positive effect upon the ethos and character of the school. Students who board are exceptionally well cared for pastorally and spiritually. Within the boarding house there is a truly inclusive and nurturing atmosphere.
