i. the manner in which the school's mission statement and/or policies draw attention to the Anglican and/or Christian foundation of the school and are conveyed to parents;
ii. relationships with the local church;
iii. the relationships between staff, between pupils and between staff and pupils;
iv. the standards of behaviour, the policies on discipline and the values inherent in classroom organization and relationships and how these are met within the framework of Christian values;
v. the links the school has with the local community, particularly the religious communities near to the school and from which pupils may come;
vi. how effective the pastoral system is and whether it is effective from the pupils' point of view;
vii. whether the building is well cared for, is tidy and clean and whether the standard of display is adequate;
