Welcome to our SIAMS Page 

As a Church of England school, we are regularly inspected under a national framework called SIAMS. This stands for the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools. 

While regular Ofsted inspections focus primarily on academic standards and school management, a SIAMS inspection looks at what makes our school community distinctively Christian. It evaluates how we live out our values every single day. 

What is the purpose of SIAMS? 

The main goal of a SIAMS inspection is to answer one central question: 

"How effective is the school’s distinctive Christian vision, established and promoted by leadership at all levels, in enabling pupils and adults to flourish?" 

The inspector evaluates how our chosen Christian vision shapes our school's character, guides our daily decisions, and ensures that every child is supported to achieve their full potential—socially, academically, and spiritually. 

What do inspectors look at? 

During the inspection, the inspector will spend time in our school to look closely at several key areas: 

• Our Vision: How well our Christian values underwrite our school policies and daily interactions. 

• Collective Worship: The quality, impact, and inclusivity of our daily times together for reflection and assembly. 

• Care and Wellbeing: How we foster a safe, loving, and inclusive environment where everyone is treated with dignity. 

• Spiritual Development: How we create opportunities for children to look beyond themselves, ask big questions, and grow as individuals. 

Why does this matter for your child? 

A successful SIAMS inspection reassures you that your child is attending a school that values their holistic development. We do not just focus on the academic; we focus on character, kindness, and community. We want our pupils to leave us as confident, compassionate individuals who feel valued for exactly who they are.
