We are absolutely delighted to share the outcome of our recent SIAMS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools). The school has received the highest grading of ‘Excellent’ and the two additional judgements, collective worship and the effectiveness of RE, were also graded ‘Excellent’.This is the highest outcome possible under the new inspection framework and replaces the ‘Outstanding’ grade of the previous one.
The 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. The inspection focuses on the following seven strands:
- Vision and Leadership
- Wisdom, Knowledge and Skills
- Character Development: Hope, Aspiration and Courageous Advocacy
- Community and Living Well Together
- Dignity and Respect
- The impact of collective worship
- The effectiveness of religious education
