The Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS)
Tue 09 Jul 2024SIAMS INSPECTION June 2024
We are very proud to be able to share with our pupils, their families and our local community the inspection report from our recent SIAMS Inspection on 13th June 2024.
The gradings and framework have changed since we last had a SIAMS inspection in 2016. Then we received an outstanding grade. These grades aren't used under the new framework which became statutory in September 2023..
Inspectors make one of two judgements:
J1: The inspection findings indicate that the school is living up to its foundation as a Church school, and is enabling pupils and adults to flourish.
Or
J2 :The inspection findings indicate that the school has strengths, but that there are also issues that leaders need to address as a matter of priority.
The Inspector concluded that we meet the J1 criteria which is a fabulous outcome for all our staff and pupils.
What SIAMS is and how the judgements are made:
The Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) is the Church of England and Methodist Church’s outworking of the requirements of section 48 of the Education Act 2005.
It is a key element of the life of all Church of England and Methodist schools in England.
SIAMS explores ways in which each school’s theologically rooted Christian vision drives its work and enables the school to live up to its foundation as a Church school. It does so by seeking to answer six or (in the case of Voluntary Aided schools) seven Inspection Questions (IQs).
IQ1: How does the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision enable pupils and adults to flourish?
IQ2: How does the curriculum reflect the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision?
IQ3: How is collective worship enabling pupils and adults to flourish spiritually?
IQ4: How does the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision create a culture in which pupils and adults are treated well?
IQ5: How does the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision create an active culture of justice and responsibility?
IQ6: Is the religious education curriculum effective (with reference to the expectations set out in the Church of England’s Statement of Entitlement for Religious Education)?

SIAMS Inspection Notification
Mon 10 Jun 2024Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) Inspection of St Paul’s Church of England Primary School
Letter from Jen Mcilveen, SIAMS Inspector
Dear Parents and Carers,
All Church of England and Methodist schools are inspected approximately every five years by a SIAMS inspector from the Church of England, although there has been some delay to our inspections due to Covid.
I will be inspecting your child’s school on 13/06/24.
A SIAMS inspection is an opportunity to highlight the impact that the school’s Christian vision has on the flourishing of the whole school community.
As part of my evidence-gathering I will speak with a range of people from within the school community. It is likely that I will speak with some of you on the inspection day.
Following the inspection, I will write a report. Once the report has been finalised it will be published, and the inspection findings will be shared with you. This will be approximately three weeks after the inspection. The report will celebrate all that is special about the school and will identify next steps that are helpful in the school’s ongoing development as a Church school.
The report will be published on the school’s website, and I would encourage you to read it.
I look forward to spending time with the school community on 13/06/24.
Kind regards,
Jen Mcilveen, SIAMS Inspector

Kindness Matters School
Wed 22 Nov 2023We are officially the first 'Kindness Matters' School in Salford and now have our logo to prove it.
Kindness runs through the very heart of everything here at St. Paul's from our core values and school vision, kindness being at the heart of our positive behaviour management practices to the seem-less relationships we nurture throughout the whole school family.
Our children also know how to fill up their 'Happy Tank' every day with kind words and actions towards themselves and to others.
