SIAMS
Statutory Inspection Of Anglican And Methodist Schools (SIAMS)
Each Church school and academy is required to have a Section 48 Inspection for a judgement on its distinctiveness and effectiveness as a Church of England school.
The purpose of the SIAMS inspection is to verify the school’s evaluation of its performance in relation to the ways in which each school’s theologically rooted Christian vision drives its work and enables the school to live up to its foundation as a Church school.
SIAMS inspection focuses on the impact of the Church school’s Christian vision on pupils and adults. This involves looking at the school’s Christian vision, the provision the school makes because of this vision and how effective this provision is in enabling all pupils to flourish.
We are pleased to share that our current SIAMS inspection grade is ‘Outstanding’.
“The school is led by an inspirational headteacher who lives out the distinctively Christian vision and values at both a professional and personal level.”
“Vibrant and relevant collective worship ensures that it has a significant impact on the lives of all stakeholders offering spiritual support and guidance to everyone.”
“Religious Education has a central place in the curriculum , enabling all pupils to grow in their understanding of Christianity and to respect the diversity of faith and belief in others.”
“Foundation governors ensure that the vision and values are at the heart of every aspect of school life so that from policy writing through to staff appointments, governors do not waver from their core purpose to ensure that everyone can discover ‘life in all its fullness’.”
