Statutory Inspection of Anglican & Methodist Schools
Church of England and Methodist schools are subject to SIAMS inspection approximately every five years. Inspectors must answer 6 or 7 inspection questions, enabling them to evaluate the school's effectiveness as a Church school.
Inspections
SIAMS inspections are carried out in line with the 2023 Framework and in line with national policies. Those who experience SIAMS can expect that all conduct will be characterised as being 'in a Christian manner'. For further information, get in touch.
New SIAMS Inspector training
We will be running new inspector training in June 2026 for potential inspectors who can inspect in specific areas.
Closing date 12/12/2025.
Case study library
The case study library offers examples of exemplary or innovative practices that might support the development of other Church schools in the areas evaluated by the most recent SIAMS inspection.
