In October 2016 we were inspected by SIAMS and graded ‘good’. Our SIAMS report can be viewed here.
The principal objective of SIAMS inspection is to evaluate the distinctiveness and effectiveness of the school as a church school, and how well the distinctive Christian character and ethos of the school ensure the development and achievement of the whole child or young person.
In 2016 SIAMS evaluated our effectiveness through four core questions:
- How well does the school, through its distinctive Christian character, meet the needs of all learners?
- What is the impact of collective worship on the school community?
- How effective is the Religious Education? (in VA schools and academies)
- How effective are the leadership and management of the school as a church school?
There is now a new SIAMS inspection framework and we look forward to showing how our distinctive Christian vision for education permeates all that we do as a school.
Ofsted Report
In July 2023 Christ Church CE Primary School was inspected by Ofsted and we were graded ‘Good’ and Ofsted identified ‘Outstanding’ areas in children’s ‘Personal Development’ and ‘Behaviour and Attitudes’. We are extremely pleased with the report. You can read it by clicking here Ofsted Report for – Christ Church CofE Primary School Here are some of the inspector’s comments:
“Pupils are at the heart and centre of Christ Church CE Primary…. Staff make sure that each child’s individual needs are well understood and supported every day.
Leaders provide high aspirations for all learners, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
Behaviour across school is exemplary. Pupils are highly respectful of each other and of all the adults in school.
Pupils are highly motivated in all aspects of their school life. They show great care towards each other and support each other’s well-being. Pupils have a strong understanding about inclusion and diversity.
The headteacher leads with care and compassion. This is reflected in the highly positive comments pupils, parents, carers and staff make.
Pupils feel confident to speak to any adult in school about their worries and concerns. Pupils know they will be listened to and their concerns taken seriously.”
