SIAMS
Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools
The purpose of SIAMS inspection is:
- To provide an evaluation of the impact of the school’s distinctively Christian vision for the governing body, multi-academy trust, the school, parents, diocese/district, Church of England Education Office, Methodist Church and the wider public.
- To meet the requirements of section 48 of the Education Act 2005 for schools which have a religious character.
- To make a significant contribution to the improvement of church schools.
St Paulinus Church of England Primary School was evaluated as living up to its foundation as a Church school, successfully enabling both pupils and adults to flourish in its SIAMS inspection on 18 May 2026.
