SIAMs Inspections (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools)

​

In a similar way to Ofsted, all Church of England schools are visited regularly and the current inspection schedule (2018) evaluates one key question:

​

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

​

This is explored through 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 

An overall grade is awarded reflecting the contribution of these strands to the flourishing of pupils and adults in a Church School. In addition, a standalone grade is awarded in all schools for Collective Worship.
