SIAMS inspections are carried out in all Anglican and Methodist schools. The principal objective is to evaluate the distinctiveness and effectiveness of the school as a church school, assuming a school is ‘Good’ and focusing the inspection on finding and celebrating evidence of this.  Inspectors are looking to see how the school’s Christian vision shapes the school and how effective this is in enabling pupils and adults to flourish. You can view a school’s most recent SIAMS inspection report on the school’s website.

You can find the latest SIAMS Framework September 2025 and documents relating to the inspection procedure on the Church of England National Society for Education website here.
