I am delighted to share with you the outcome of our recent SIAMS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools) inspection. The report recognises the many strengths of our school community and affirms that Knights Templar Community Church School is living out its foundation as a Church school, enabling both children and adults to flourish.

The report highlights our strong and thoughtful leadership, with governors and leaders carefully guiding the school’s vision and future. Collective worship is described as the heart of the school, nurturing confidence, inclusion and a strong sense of belonging.

Inspectors also praised our caring ethos, where all members of the community feel valued, leading to high levels of trust and wellbeing. Our commitment to supporting vulnerable pupils, including the development of our specialist provision- The Den, was recognised as a significant strength, alongside our expertise in SEND.

In addition, our partnerships with churches, the diocese and Methodist Education were commended for enriching opportunities for children and staff.

As with any inspection, there are areas identified for further development. These are centred around developing our Religious Education curriculum to ensure depth and challenge considering National Curriculum changes and local syllabus arrangements and further embedding opportunities for spirituality and global awareness across the wider curriculum.

I would like to thank the staff, children, governors and families for their continued support and contribution to our school community. This report reflects the collective dedication and shared values that make Knights Templar Community Church School such a special place to learn and grow.

Kind regards

Laura Weaver
Headteacher
