Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools

SIAMS inspection plays an important role in the improvement of Church schools. It does this by affirming  that which is effective and by highlighting key areas for improvement. By focusing on impact above all  else, SIAMS explores ways in which each school’s theologically rooted Christian vision drives the work, and enables the school to live up to its foundation as a Church school.

Through the 2023 SIAMS Framework, inspectors will explore with school and trust leaders how they understand the specific context of  the school, and whether they know how to respond to it theologically. Local, diocesan, and national  expertise will help school and trust leaders to explore this, so that they can be confident in answering  three key questions: 

1. Who are we as a school? 

2. What are we doing here? 

3. How, then, shall we live and learn together? 

At Great Milton, we were last inspected in June 2017 under the previous framework. Our report is below.
