🌟 Celebrating Our SIAMS Success 🌟

Aston Rowant Church of England Primary School is thrilled to share the results of our recent Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) report, which recognises the deep impact of our Christian vision and the flourishing of our whole school community.

💬 What the Inspectors Said

“Aston Rowant is a small school with a big heart which strives to care deeply for all.”

“Leaders have high aspirations for their community. They know and cherish each individual member.”

“Rooted in personal growth and God’s love, relationships are respectful and courteous. People treat each other very well.”

“There is a strong culture of encouragement and support. This enables pupils and adults to thrive, including those who may be vulnerable.”

“Extra-curricular opportunities are chosen carefully to broaden and inspire”

“A sense of wellbeing and nurture emerges from strong leadership, community support and a shared vision. This means that pupils and adults live well together, including in difficult times.”

Living Our Vision

“Pupils delight in explaining the meaning of the vision from their perspective and how it informs their actions.”

Our Christian vision — To be a community of courageous life-long learners, who are rooted in God, live out our Christian values and enjoy life in all its fullness — is not just words. It shapes every decision, every relationship, and every moment of learning. The report celebrates how this vision:

• Drives strategic leadership and daily routines
• Inspires pupils to become confident, compassionate advocates
• Creates a nurturing environment where all are cherished

🕊️ Worship and Spirituality

“Collective worship is central to daily life… inclusive and invites each person to contribute with integrity.”

The Inspector commented that our collective Worship was ‘breath taking.’ From enthusiastic singing to heartfelt prayers, worship at Aston Rowant is a time of reflection, celebration, and spiritual growth. Our ‘I wonder’ wall with the children’s questions, exploration of Bible verses and pupil-led worship are just some of the ways we make faith meaningful and personal.

🌍 Making a Difference

“Pupils are passionate about change, leading projects that address environmental issues, poverty, and social justice.”

Our children are empowered to speak out and take action — whether presenting to MPs, setting up recycling stations, working with the local foodbank or championing causes the children believe in. Our children are learning to be courageous and take action and live with purpose and compassion.

🌱 Growing together

“Families frequently highlight how the school goes ‘above and beyond’ to help their children to progress and achieve their full potential.”

“Pupils are thoroughly prepared and well equipped to leave Aston Rowant as confident individuals who have strong self-belief. They have a true sense of self-worth”

This captures the heart of what makes Aston Rowant School. This reflects a culture of care and commitment that ensures every child is supported to thrive academically and personally. It’s not just about academic success—it’s about nurturing resilient, compassionate learners who are ready to make a positive difference in the world.

We are incredibly proud of our staff, pupils, families, governors, and clergy who make Aston Rowant such a special place. This SIAMS report is a testament to our shared commitment to growing together, rooted in God, and enjoying fullness of life.
