SIAMS Inspections

The ‘Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools’ (SIAMS) follows a timetable which is independent of Ofsted and based on a five-year cycle. The principal objective of the inspection is to address the question:

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

To do this the inspection looks at 7 strands:

  1. Vision and Leadership
  2. Wisdom, Knowledge and Skills
  3. Character Development: Hope, Aspiration and Courageous Advocacy
  4. Community and Living Well Together
  5. Dignity and Respect
  6. The impact of collective worship
  7. The effectiveness of religious education
