SIAMS Report
We are an Outstanding Church of England School!
All Church of England schools are inspected regularly under the Statutory Inspections of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) . Our last inspection was in March 2017, where we were graded outstanding: “The distinctiveness and effectiveness of Hartlip Endowed Primary School as a Church of England school are outstanding.” For the full SIAMS inspection report, please <click here>
The areas assessed and judgements were:
The effectiveness of the leadership and management of the school as a church school is outstanding
The school, through its distinctive Christian character, is outstanding at meeting the needs of all learners
The impact of collective worship on the school community is outstanding
The effectiveness of the religious education is good
Our strengths in the last inspection were:
The excellent Christian leadership of the headteacher and deputy headteacher, ably supported by governors and dedicated staff, directs and inspires all aspects of school improvement. The meaningful links between the school and the church make a significant contribution to the school’s spiritual life.
Pupils’ very positive attitudes to learning are founded on their understanding and use of the school’s core Christian values of forgiveness, trust, peace, friendship and thankfulness.
Pupils are well known and cared for as ‘unique, children of God’, and as a consequence are treated respectfully and as individuals.
The worship programme is varied and clearly focuses on exploring key areas of Christian belief and practice and provides relevant experiences, closely linked to their impact on life and living in today’s world.
