SIAMS

As a Church of England school, in addition to monitoring by OfSTED, we are also inspected under a system called the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS). The SIAMS inspection takes place usually on a five yearly cycle but it can be earlier depending on circumstances. The SIAMS inspection is part of our ongoing process of school development and improvement. 

Our last SIAMS report (2023) said that at Kendall:

• The deeply embedded Christian vision enables pupils and adults to flourish. It is the ‘golden thread’ that ensures that everyone works together to secure ‘a bright and wonderful future’.

• The Christian vision supports leaders in creating a culture in which everyone is valued and are able to live well together. Inclusivity and equality are central to the ethos of the school, where differences are respected and celebrated.

• The curriculum is shaped around the forest school provision where learning outside of the classroom is given high priority. Pupils thrive in the natural environment at Kendall where they have opportunities to develop their confidence, team building, resilience, and communication skills.
