In addition to Ofsted inspections, Church schools also undergo a denominational inspection - a Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools, SIAMS, which assesses the effectiveness of Church of England schools as Church schools.

At the heart of the SIAMS process is school self-evaluation carried out by staff and governors. SIAMS explores ways in which a 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 Inspections Questions.

• How does the school's theologically rooted Christian vision enable pupils and adults to flourish?
• How does the curriculum reflect the school's theologically rooted Christian vision?
• How is collective worship enabling pupils and adults to flourish spiritually?
• How does the school's theologically rooted Christian vision create a culture in which pupils and adults are treated well?
• How does the school's theologically rooted Christian vision create an active culture of justice and responsibility?
• 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?

Our school was inspected in October 2025, and we were delighted that the inspector found that the school is living up to its foundation as a Church school, and is enabling pupils and adults to flourish.
