SIAMS for Schools
SIAMS is the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools. This is also known as a Section 48 inspection. This webinar is for headteachers, RE leaders, Collective Worship leads, governors and those who lead on the Christian character of a church school or trust. In this session we will explore the new 2023 SIAMS Framework.
We will cover what the new Framework looks like: the Inspection Structure; the importance of Christian vision; the six Inspection Questions; the judgments; self-evaluations; and the keeping of evidence.

Theologically Rooted Christian Vision
SIAMS 2023 asks about your school’s ‘theologically rooted Christian vision’. This session is aimed at schools who are looking to revisit their vision or who already have an established school vision. It will support school leaders to articulate the context of their schools, and to think about how to respond to this theologically. How do you then formulate an effective theologically rooted Christian vision and support your school community in understanding this?
