Benenden Church of England Primary School

SIAMS

As a Church of England School we are inspected both by Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills) and the National Society for Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS). In the 2026 SIAMS Inspection, the school achieved some fantastic feedback and appraisal:

" The school’s culture of high expectations alongside high levels of support, helps pupils to develop academically, socially, emotionally and culturally."

 

"Staff make every effort to ensure that pupils feel that they belong."

 

" The curriculum is enriched with a range of opportunities, including forest school and drama productions. Therefore, pupils can explore and develop new skills."

 

"Pupils and adults are enabled to flourish and to live life in all its fullness."

 

" Adults appreciate that they are cared for by leaders in the personal and professional challenges they face. As a consequence, the wellbeing and mental health of adults and pupils is supported."   

 

"Pupils benefit from a range of initiatives which support their mental health and wellbeing."
