Developing the Christian Vision in a Church of England School
Monitoring and evaluation document – Updated to incorporate the amendments to the SIAMS Evaluation Schedule September 2021
This document begins by exploring the how the vision and leadership of the school impacts Strand 2 – 5 of the SIAMS schedule. Each component of the ‘Good’ grade descriptors is focused upon. The OFSTED ‘good’ grade descriptors are then explored, to identify where the focuses of the different grade descriptors overlap with expectations that should be embedded in a good or better Church of England schools.

Updated to incorporate the amendments to the SIAMS Evaluation Schedule September 2021
This document is provided to present school leaders with a clear overview of SIAMS and OFSTED handbooks, exploring how the focus of each inspection runs in parallel to the other. For each strand of the SIAMS inspection, the Ofsted focus that most closely correlates is also identified, alongside the Good grade descriptors for both.

The Warp and Weft Document
Evidencing Impact and transformation to inform the 2-page summary.
The SIAMS reflection (summary) invites school leaders to present the inspector with the headlines of the leader’s Church school evaluation. The National SIAMS Team continues to emphasise that self-evaluation is not statutory. However, inspectors need to start with some information on the school and a more accurate inspection is likely to ensue if the school provides pertinent information at the outset.
Headteacher performance management
Updated to incorporate the amendments to the SIAMS Evaluation Schedule September 202
This document aims to provide governors with a number of key documents and considerations that governors may wish to consider in relation to evaluating the performance of the headteacher in a Church school. The NGA document Taking Headteacher Appraisal Seriously explores how schools are currently conducting headteacher appraisal, including the challenges they face and the obstacles they need to overcome to ensure an effective, robust and meaningful process is in place. It is no means a comprehensive document that provides all of the statutory and legal duties that relate to the process, but rather a signpost to relevant documents that may lead to a more supportive appraisal process.
