Our Visions and Values
“I came that you might have life and live life in all its fullness.” John 10:10
The Church of England has a long and successful history of involvement in education and schooling. As a statutory provider of schooling, the Church has built a very strong and respected position in England and Wales.
Church of England schools have a distinctive identity and ethos, popular with parents and families, where the development of social, spiritual and emotional intelligence is as important as academic achievement.
All Church of England dioceses and the Methodist Church use the National Society's framework for the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) under Section 48 of the Education Act.
The principal objective of SIAMS inspection is to evaluate the distinctiveness and effectiveness of the school as a church school.
"As a result of the deeply held vision, all members of this nurturing Church school family share a deep sense of belonging and feel valued. The vision and associated values are the driving force behind leaders’ actions at every level. This results in flourishing for all." Siams 2024
