SIAMS

All Church of England dioceses and the Methodist Church use the Church of England Education Office's framework for the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) under Section 48 of the Education Act 2005. 

The principal objective of SIAMS inspection will be from September 2023 to evaluate whether a school is, through its vision and practice, living up to its foundation as a Church school and is enabling pupils and adults to flourish.

Through understanding the context of the school, the inspection seeks to answer the following questions:

• How does the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision enable pupils and adults to flourish?
• How does the curriculum reflect the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision?
• How is collective worship enabling pupils and adults to flourish spiritually?
• How does the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision create a culture in which pupils and adults are treated well?
• How does the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision create an active culture of justice and responsibility?
• Is the religious education curriculum effective?
• What is the quality of religious education?
