St Andrews Primary School had its last full SIAMs inspection in June 2019. The school was judged to be ‘GOOD’ in all areas.

Key findings:

• St Andrew’s Church of England Primary School has a distinctive Christian vision and well-developed set of associated Christian values which inspire leaders in shaping the school. However, because the vision is relatively new, it does not underpin all aspects of the school’s work.
• As a result of the Christian vision and values, there are strong relationships amongst all members of the school community. This ensures that all pupils are well-supported emotionally and academically.
• Pupils develop a good understanding of Bible stories through imaginative and engaging collective worship. They can then relate messages from these stories to their lives.
• Religious education (RE) is a strength of the school. As a result of high quality teaching, pupils learn to discuss their own personal beliefs with exceptional thoughtfulness and sensitivity.
• The strong, mutually-supportive partnership between the school and local churches enhances the quality of collective worship and enables all to flourish.
