The APOP St Anthony’s 25.26 is a new requirement that has to be shared with governors and the diocese on a compliance check. They expect to know who is planning and evaluating each aspect of the prayer life of the school (only the Autumn term has been completed so far). The number of evaluations that you are asked for have not been increased but there is a clear expectation that they are completed as per the APOP – attached here FYI.
