Lower Heath CE Primary School is proud to announce the glowing outcome of its recent SIAMS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools) inspection, which highlights the school’s strong Christian foundation and its commitment to nurturing a caring, reflective, and high-achieving community.

The report praises Lower Heath CE Primary School for “living up to its foundation as a Church school and enabling pupils and adults to flourish.” It recognises the school’s unwavering commitment to Christian values that are deeply embedded in every aspect of school life.

Key strengths noted in the report include:

• A Vision That Shines Brightly: The school’s Christian vision and associated values provide a firm foundation that unites the whole school community. This shared purpose empowers pupils and adults alike to “let their lights shine.”
• A Deeply Reflective Curriculum: The thoughtfully designed curriculum offers pupils time and space for inward reflection, helping them develop a strong awareness of their own spiritual needs and personal growth.
• Inclusive and Impactful Worship: Collective worship is described as welcoming, inclusive, and thought-provoking. It enriches the life of the school and plays a central role in deepening understanding of the school’s Christian vision and values.
• A Culture of Respect and Love: Leaders and staff create an environment where every individual feels valued. Consistent modelling of Christian values by both staff and pupils ensures that respect and love are woven throughout the school’s culture, contributing to exemplary behaviour.
• Empowered, Responsible Pupils: Pupils are encouraged to voice their concerns for the world and take meaningful action. The report commends the school for fostering a strong sense of responsibility among pupils both within the school and in the wider community.

Headteacher Helen Reynolds said, “We are incredibly proud of this SIAMS report. It reflects the daily commitment of our staff, pupils, and families in living out our Christian values. We believe in nurturing every child’s potential, academically, spiritually, and socially and it is wonderful to see this recognised so clearly.”
