SIAMs
Our most recent SIAMS inspection in November 2023 found that “it is the clear Christian vision that is now setting the direction for the school and because of this pupils and adults flourish together. The inspection findings indicate that the school is living up to its foundation as a Church school.”
The principal objective of SIAMS inspection is to evaluate the distinctiveness and effectiveness of the school as a church school, and how well the distinctive Christian character and ethos of the school ensure the development and achievement of the whole child or young person.
This is evaluated through the following questions:
- How does the school's theologically rooted Christian vision enable pupils and adults to flourish?
- How does the curriculum reflect the school's theologically rooted Christian vision?
- How is collective worship enabling pupils and adults to flourish spiritually?
- How does the school's theologically rooted Christian vision create a culture in which pupils and adults are treated well?
- How does the school's theologically rooted Christian vision create an active culture of justice and responsibility?
- Is the religious education curriculum effective?
- What is the quality of religious education?
