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 ‘Good’!

School leaders use resources to create an inspirational environment that strongly proclaims the school’s Christian distinctiveness and commitment to Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development.

The curriculum and culture of the school focus on the value and uniqueness of each individual enabling them to grow and flourish.

School leaders are passionate about achievement for all. They are taking a tenacious approach to raising standards of achievement for children entitled to pupil premium funding and those with additional needs.

Religious education contributes well to pupils’ understanding of Christianity and other faiths and creates many opportunities for SMSC.
