'We are a Church School'

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.

We are very lucky to have strong links with our local church, here in Burton Latimer - St. Mary the Virgin.

Reverend Patrick Kelliher conducts regular services for the school community and our pupils visit the church at specific times of the year, predominantly Harvest, Christmas and Easter.
