SCOTT - BROADWOOD SIAMS
All Church of England dioceses and the Methodist Church use the Church of England Education Office's framework for the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS).
The SIAMS inspection focuses on the impact of the Church school's Christian vision on pupils and adults. This involves looking at the school’s Christian vision, the provision the school makes because of this vision and how effective this provision is in enabling all pupils to flourish. The Evaluation Schedule has one inspection question: how effective is the school’s distinctive Christian vision, established and promoted by leadership at all levels, in enabling pupils and adults to flourish?
This is explored through seven strands:
- Vision and Leadership
- Wisdom, Knowledge and Skills
- Character Development: Hope, Aspiration and Courageous Advocacy
- Community and Living Well Together
- Dignity and Respect
- The impact of collective worship
- The effectiveness of religious education
Overall Grade
One overall grade is awarded reflecting the contribution of these strands to the flourishing of pupils and adults in a Church school. In addition a standalone grade is awarded in all schools for collective worship and in voluntary aided (VA) schools and former VA schools for religious education (RE). This grade is based on teaching and learning alone.
Our most recent SIAMS inspection in February 2016 rated Scott-Broadwood as GOOD overall and OUTSTANDING in two areas.
- How well does the school, through its distinctive Christian character, meet the needs of all learners? GOOD
- What is the impact of collective worship on the school community? OUTSTANDING
- How effective is the Religious Education? (in VA schools and academies) GOOD
- How effective are the leadership and management of the school as a church school? OUTSTANDING
