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’.

“The school is committed to ensuring achievement for children from all backgrounds and uses its expertise and
resources with strategic precision to narrow any gaps in learning for individuals or groups of learners.”

“Religious Education enables learners to explore and demonstrate Christian values alongside developing their
understanding of faiths and beliefs in the school and wider community.”

“Leaders are making Christian distinctiveness a priority in the development of the school as part of a multi-academy trust. They are taking time to identify a set of core Christian values that are just right for their community.”

“Links with Christ Church, Quinton are very strong. The clergy are making a very positive contribution to the Collective Worship and other aspects of the school’s distinctiveness that impact on learners.”
