SIAMs

As a church school we are also inspected by the Church of England under the Statutory Inspection of Anglican, Methodist and ecumenical Schools (SIAMs). Here are some of the key findings:

• The vision promotes a cohesive and supportive culture which lives out its values of friendship and  community enabling all to flourish. 
• Collective worship has a significant role in the life of the school creating a strong community living out  its vision to be a light on the hill. 
• There are examples of good practice which develops spiritual awareness across the curriculum but the  approach is not consistent.
