Ripon Cathedral School Update
27th April 2022
We are EXCELLENT!
Excellent in all areas
Dear Parents and Carers
We are delighted to share the results of an inspection that took place before Easter– a Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS). In a similar way to Ofsted, all Church of England schools are visited regularly to evaluate the key question: ‘How effective is the school's distinctive Christian vision, established and promoted by leadership at all levels, in enabling all pupils and adults to flourish?’
The final report can be accessed by clicking on the link below.
We received an overall grade of Excellent, and were also judged to be excellent in the effectiveness of our religious education (RE) and the impact of collective worship. The framework currently used by inspectors has made it far more challenging for schools to achieve this highest grade, so we are very proud that many aspects of our church school have been recognised as exceptional.
I am very blessed to have such a caring and committed team of staff and governors who have helped to embed and realise our vision of aspiring, flourishing and loving. I also would like to thank all members of our school family who provide such wonderful support and make Cathedral School such a great place to be.
Throughout the inspection the real stars of the school were the children who, as always, were wonderful ambassadors, enthusiastically sharing how they develop both spiritually and academically.
Enjoy the report!
Kind regards
Steven Holmes
Headteacher
