SIAMs (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools) provides valuable support for schools by offering a framework for evaluating and enhancing the effectiveness of religious education, leadership, and overall school ethos. Through its inspections, SIAMs helps schools in the Anglican and Methodist sectors reflect on their Christian distinctiveness and the impact of their values on both academic outcomes and personal development. The process encourages schools to foster an environment where spiritual, moral, social, and cultural growth is prioritised alongside academic achievement. By offering constructive feedback and recognising good practice, SIAMs supports schools in continuing to improve and live out their Christian mission, ensuring a holistic approach to education that benefits students, staff, and the wider community.
