SIAMS
As a DBE we no longer have responsibility for the inspection of our schools following the decision to move to a nationally integrated model of SIAMS.
All of the information that you are likely to need can be found on the national website:
Inspections — National Society for Education
As a diocese, we also receive an email confirming the inspection; we then make sure that all of our relevant colleagues are aware of this information. At the same time, we will confirm who will be speaking to the inspector as part of the evidence-gathering process and, who will be attending the feedback. It would be very helpful if schools could let us know, as soon as possible, the expected timing for this meeting.
We have been asked by the central team to clarify that, if you have any SIAMS-related training needs, you should contact us at the SDBE as this is our responsibility and area of expertise.
