Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS)

"Bishop Bridgeman Church of England Primary School is living up to its foundation as a Church school and is enabling pupils and adults to flourish."
Strengths
-
Collective worship is a joyful and enriching experience, offering meaningful opportunities for
pupils and adults to grow spiritually. This is thoughtfully considered and delivered to reflect the
school's vision and values, ensuring inclusivity and engagement.
-
Sensitively planned, explicit opportunities for spiritual development add deeper meaning to the
vision driven curriculum. It is impacting positively on pupils’ understanding of themselves, each
other and their appreciation of the world.
-
Nurturing care and the focus on wellbeing is tangible. It is an effective outworking of the school
vision of ‘love God, love yourself and love your neighbor.’ Pupils are encouraged to love
themselves and relationships are supportive.
-
Injustice is confidently challenged by pupils. They share their work with other schools across the
diocese and nationally. This impacts strongly on pupils’ social, emotional and spiritual
development in school and beyond.
-
Pupils value the safe space that religious education (RE) offers them to ask questions and to share
their viewpoints. The opportunities for reflection and deeper learning within lessons support
pupils to develop respect for each other.
