SIAMS
The Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) is the Church of England and Methodist Church’s outworking of the requirements of section 48 of the Education Act 2005. It is a key element of the life of all Church of England and Methodist schools in England. SIAMS explores ways in which each school’s theologically-rooted Christian vision drives its work and enables the school to live up to its foundation as a Church school.
St. Leonard's vision promotes love, respect and good relationships within the school. This inspires the community to treat each other well, which can be seen in the positive interactions between pupils.
St Leonard's
St. Leonard's is our local Church and sits within the Parish of Ipstones. We enjoy welcoming members of our church into school to lead us in worship and support us on our journey of faith.
Lichfield Diocese
School are proud to be part of the Diocese of Lichfield and embrace the support of the Diocese and the way in which this can help our pupils and staff to flourish.
Bible Reading
'An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.'
(Proverbs, 18:15)
