SIAMS inspection report 2021 

Key Findings

• The vision of the school is known and articulated by all members of the school community; however, the biblical underpinning of the vision is not fully understood by everyone.
• Pupils feel safe and nurtured in their school. The most vulnerable pupils successfully access educational provision as a result of a compassionate approach which supports their flourishing. During the pandemic, the school acted as a beacon of hope and ‘light’ to ensure that pupils and families were supported according to need in difficult times.
• Pupils benefit from a rich curriculum, with opportunities to question, reflect and find their place in the world. Although senior leaders and staff have thought carefully about provision for spirituality, there is a need for a deeper understanding of spirituality within the context of a Church school.
• The religious education (RE) curriculum enables pupils to make connections between religions and to appreciate and respect diversity of religious thought. Pupils flourish because RE provision creates an accepting and safe environment where pupils can make informed decisions about their own beliefs.
• Pupils enjoy being active participants in worship. As worship leaders, they are supported by staff to lead collective worship and this enables them to be brave, to grow in self-confidence and to shine.
