SIAMS
SIAMS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools) explores ways in which each school's theologically rooted Christian vision drives its work and enables the school to live up to its foundation as a Church school. It does so by seeking to answer seven Inspection Questions (IQs) set out in the 2023 SIAMS Inspection Framework.
IQ1: How does the school's theologically rooted Christian vision enable pupils and adults to flourish?
IQ2: How does the curriculum reflect the school's theologically rooted Christian vision?
IQ3: How is collective worship enabling pupils and adults to flourish spiritually?
IQ4: How does the school's theologically rooted Christian vision create a culture in which pupils and adults are treated well?
IQ5: How does the school's theologically rooted Christian vision create an active culture of justice and responsibility?
IQ6: Is the religious education curriculum effective (with reference to the expectations set out in the Church of England's Statement of Entitlement for Religious Education)?
IQ7: 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?
SIAMS inspection focuses on the impact of the Church school's Christian vision on pupils and adults. This involves looking at the school's Christian vision, the provision the school makes because of this vision and how effective this provision is in enabling all pupils to flourish.
