At the beginning of the month the school underwent a 'Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools' (SIAMS). The inspection lasted a full day and involved interviews with staff, children, parents and governors and scrutiny of a wide range of evidence. The final report has just been published and the inspector concluded that the ‘distinctiveness and effectiveness of St Stephen’s as a Church of England school’ is OUTSTANDING.   A great way to start the week (and end the term).The SIAMS Report is now available on the school website.
