What is SIAMS?

SIAMS is the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools.

​

All Church of England schools are required to have a SIAMS inspection which is conducted separately to any OfSTED inspection.

​

SIAMS inspection plays an important role in the improvement of Church schools. It does this by affirming that which is effective and by highlighting key areas for improvement. By focusing on impact above all else, SIAMS explores ways in which each school’s theologically rooted Christian vision drives the work, and enables the school to live up to its foundation as a Church school.

​

St. Bart's Multi-Academy Trust has 9 Church schools in the trust.
