We're GOOD
Mon 13 Jun 2022Dear parents and carers,
I am delighted to be able to share with you the report following our recent church school inspection (known as SIAMS).
After a busy day of inspection including the inspector observing worship and lessons alongside speaking with staff, children, governors and parents and looking through documentation, the inspector has graded our school as Good.
The report recognises many areas where we are acting out our vision of making a difference. Here are some highlights:
- ‘Pupils and adults flourish due to the collaborative atmosphere and the care for individuals’
- ‘The vision is simple and profound and inspires all.’
- Leaders work hard to produce a harmonious community based on mutually respectful relationships.’
- ‘...recognise pupils making a difference through their learning and demonstrating core values in and out of school.’
We feel the inspector captured St Andrew’s well and we a pleased to see that the ethos of the whole of our school community has been recognised.
We will now endeavour to follow up on the areas of development to further strengthen our church school status and to continue to make a difference.
I am pleased to share a message from our chair of governors:
“The outcome of the SIAMS inspection is a really positive achievement made possible by a tremendous contribution from the whole school community including the staff, children, parents and the Church. The report is well worth a good read as it celebrates the many positives within the school. We should all be very proud. Many thanks from all the Governors.” Richard Butler, Chair of Governors
Best wishes
Sam Harris
