Inspections

Our effectiveness

St. Mary’s Church of England Primary School is subject to two types of school inspections that judge our effectiveness. Ofsted inspections take place at our school because we are a local education authority maintained school. SIAMS inspections take place at our school because we are an Anglican church school.

 

Ofsted

Ofsted is the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills. They inspect and regulate services that care for children and young people, and services providing education and skills for learners of all ages.

Parent View

Parent View gives you the chance to tell Ofsted what you think about your child’s school, from the quality of teaching to dealing with bullying and poor behaviour. The survey can be completed at any time; you don’t have to wait until the school is being inspected. Ofsted will use the information you provide when making decisions about which schools to inspect and when.

SIAMS

All Church of England dioceses and the Methodist Church use the National Society’s framework for the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS). The principal objective of a SIAMS inspection is to evaluate the distinctiveness and effectiveness of the school as a church school.
