SIAMS
All Church of England dioceses use the National Society’s framework for the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS).
The framework provides a process for evaluating the extent to which church schools are 'distinctively and recognisably Christian institutions'.
Towards this objective, inspectors seek answers to four key questions:
- How well does the school, through its distinctive Christian character, meet the needs of all learners?
- What is the impact of collective worship on the school community?
- How effective is the Religious Education (in VA schools and academies)?
- How effective are the leadership and management of the school as a church school?
We were very proud to receive an outstanding judgement in our latest inspection.
“The distinctiveness and effectiveness of Horton CE VA Primary School as a Church of England school are outstanding.”
