Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) Report

All Church Schools are inspected regularly by the Church of England to explore whether the school is living up to its theologically rooted Christian vision and foundation as a Church School. This inspection is undertaken by trained inspectors who spend time meeting key stakeholders, including pupils, staff, parents and governors; observing lessons, playtimes and collective worship; and discussing pupil and adult wellbeing.

June 2018 SIAMS inspection

Leonard Stabnley was inspected on 13th June 2018 under the SIAMS framework.

SIAMS 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 six or (in the case of Voluntary Aided schools) seven Inspection Questions (IQs).

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?
