SIAMS

All Church of England dioceses use the National Society’s framework for the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS).

Inspectors must answer 6 or 7 inspection questions, enabling them to evaluate the school's effectiveness as a Church school 

• IQ 1 - How does the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision enable pupils and adults to flourish?
• IQ 2 - How does the curriculum reflect the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision? 
• IQ 3 - How is collective worship enabling pupils and adults to flourish spiritually?
• IQ 4 - How does the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision create a culture in which pupils and adults are treated well?
• IQ 5 - How does the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision create an active culture of justice and responsibility?
• IQ 6 - Is the religious education curriculum effective? 
• IQ 7 - What is the quality of religious education in voluntary aided and former voluntary aided schools, and in former voluntary controlled schools in which denominational religious education is taught?

We were very proud to receive confirmation that "Horton Church of England VA Primary School is living up to its foundation as a Church school and is enabling pupils and adults to flourish" in our latest inspection on 1st July 2026.
