Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) Inspection of Donnington Wood Church of England Junior School

Letter from Allyson Taylor, SIAMS Inspector

Dear Parents and Carers,

All Church of England and Methodist schools are inspected approximately every five years by a SIAMS inspector from the Church of England, although there has been some delay to our inspections due to Covid.

I will be inspecting your child’s school on 10 January 2024.

A SIAMS inspection is an opportunity to highlight the impact that the school’s Christian vision has on the flourishing of the whole school community.

As part of my evidence-gathering I will speak with a range of people from within the school community. It is likely that I will speak with some of you on the inspection day.

Following the inspection, I will write a report. Once the report has been finalised it will be published, and the inspection findings will be shared with you. This will be approximately three weeks after the inspection. The report will celebrate all that is special about the school, and will identify next steps that are helpful in the school’s ongoing development as a Church school.

The report will be published on the school’s website, and I would encourage you to read it.

I look forward to spending time with the school community on Monday 18 December.

Kind regards,

Allyson Taylor SIAMS Inspector
