Hampton Lucy declared outstanding in SIAMS report

Hampton Lucy Church of England School has received an outstanding SIAMS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools) grade.

SIAMS inspection focuses on the effect that the Christian ethos of the church school has on the children and young people who attend it. The principal objective of SIAMS inspection is to evaluate the distinctiveness and effectiveness of the school as a church school.

Hampton Lucy, a primary school close to Stratford upon Avon, was inspected in late September. The report notes that the school was outstanding in all aspects, from meeting the needs of all learners to the leadership and management of the school.

The report recognises high quality pastoral care and strong engagement with distinctive Christian values, saying: ‘The school is outstanding at meeting the needs of all learners... It makes a very positive impact on their academic and personal development.  This means that pupils are working at nationally expected levels with some exceeding these. It also results in a strongly shared view of the school as a family… This enables Hampton Lucy to provide a learning environment that is highly inclusive and supports pupils to succeed.’
