SIAMS inspection focusses 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.

As part of our school's monitoring and evaluation, we will employ a variety of strategies to undertake strategic governance and ensure that our school is distinctively and effectively Christian in our character and ethos. 

CEC members collect evidence as part of a triangulation monitoring approach – observations/ learning walks; book looks and planning; pupil and staff conferencing. It follows a 'seen, discussed, did and reviewed' cycle to ensure that evaluation is impactful in supporting our school to continually review and improve.
