Ways forward for the school are:

Leaders have designed and introduced an ambitious and broad curriculum to meet the needs of all pupils. However, this has not been fully embedded. Leaders must ensure they continue the work they have started to ensure the curriculum is delivered consistantly well so that pupils learn all the important knowledge and skills identified in the curriculum.
Leaders should ensure that older readers are supported well in improving their reading.

SIAMS Inspection

SIAMS inspection focuses on the impact of the Church school's Christian vision on pupils and adults. This involves looking at the school’s Christian vision, the provision the school makes because of this vision and how effective this provision is in enabling all pupils to flourish. Church schools will employ a variety of strategies and styles appropriate to, and reflective of, their particular context in order to be distinctively and effectively Christian in their character and ethos. SIAMS inspectors therefore do not look for a set template of what a Church school should be like, but rather take the particular context of the school into account and base their evaluation on the outcomes rather than the process.
