SIAMS REPORT

We are delighted to share the outcomes of our recent Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) from our recent inspection on Monday 17th November 2025. The inspection process confirms that Warberry Church of England Primary Academy is living up to its foundation as a Church school and enabling pupils and adults to flourish. The full report is available here

Our vision, “Roots to grow, fruit to flourish” (John 15:5), is at the heart of everything we do. The report praises the way this vision shapes our culture, curriculum, and relationships, ensuring every child can achieve their best academically and personally. The report highlighted the following strengths:

  • Deep commitment to vision and purpose: Our shared language and values unite and inspire the whole school community.
  • Strong leadership and ambition: Leaders focus on laying firm foundations in learning, particularly literacy, RE and maths, while nurturing Christian character.
  • Partnerships that strengthen us: Close collaboration with the Learning Academy Partnership and the local church brings confidence and rigour to our work.
  • High-quality Religious Education: Thoughtful, well-resourced teaching enables pupils to explore faith and worldviews with respect and curiosity.
  • Reflective and courageous improvement: The school continually evaluates and refines its practice, creating a platform for ongoing success.

The report highlights how our curriculum and assemblies encourage aspiration and spiritual reflection stating that pupils enjoy debating ethical issues and exploring diversity through initiatives like Interfaith Week. Worship is described as engaging and meaningful, with memorable experiences, such as candlelit services in Kent’s Cavern and our much-loved singing assemblies, embedded in our curriculum.

The inspection also identified two areas for development for the school:

  • Deepen spiritual reflection: Increase opportunities for pupils to explore ideas ‘greater than self’ in worship and across the curriculum.
  • Empower pupils as change-makers: Extend chances for children to take responsibility and make a difference within and beyond school.

The inspector noted that Warberry is “a big school with a big heart,” where every child is known and cared for. Our new behaviour policy, nurture provision, and emphasis on relationships reflect our commitment to developing the whole child. We are proud of this exceptionally positive report and remain committed to helping every child grow strong roots and flourish as confident, compassionate individuals.
