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.
