St John's Church of England Primary School

SIAMS Inspection

As well as being inspected by Ofsted, Church of England schools have a further inspection called SIAMS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools).

The main objective of the SIAMS inspection is to evaluate the distinctiveness and effectiveness of the school as a church school. Inspectors will look for 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?
How effective are the leadership and management of the school as a church school?

Our most recent SIAMS inspection took place on the 10th December 2015 and we were graded as 'Outstanding'.

The Inspector told us:

The school, through its distinctive Christian character, is outstanding at meeting the needs of all learners.
The impact of collective worship on the school community is outstanding.
RE is well taught and makes an outstanding contribution to the school's Christian character.
The effectiveness of the leadership and management of the school as a church school is outstanding.
