STATUTORY INSPECTION OF ANGLICAN AND METHODIST SCHOOLS (SIAMS) INSPECTION MAIN FINDINGS 

The distinctiveness and effectiveness of St Martin-in-the-Fields High School for Girls as a Church of England school are outstanding

  • Leaders are passionate about articulating, living out and promoting the ‘with love and learning’ vision rooted in the story of St Martin, and the distinctive Christian values of service, compassion, justice and perseverance.
  • Students behave well as a direct result of the development and application of the school’s Christian values of service, compassion, justice and perseverance.
  • Students recognise the importance of religious education (RE) and the contribution it makes to their spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development through the school’s focus on forming character ‘with love and learning’.
  • Standards in RE are above national expectations and progress in the subject is rapid, developing an understanding of Christianity and other religions, particularly Islam, reflecting the school’s intake
