Ofsted & SIAMS Reports
We are proud of our school and are committed to continually reflecting on our practice and finding ways to make Hullavington CE Primary and Nursery School the very best it can be for every child.

SIAMS – Church School Inspection
As a Church of England school, our Christian vision and values are at the heart of everything we do. They shape our relationships, our approach to learning and the way we care for and support one another.
Our most recent SIAMS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools) inspection took place in December 2023. We were delighted with the outcome, which confirmed that:
Hullavington CE Primary and Nursery School is living up to its foundation as a Church school and enabling pupils and adults to flourish.
The report recognised the strength of our inclusive Christian ethos and the way our vision is lived out in everyday school life.
Some of the highlights from our SIAMS report included:
-
"Collective worship is the glue that binds the school together and is valued by all. It is a deeply inclusive space because all can participate."
-
"Celebrating festivals from where pupils originate from demonstrates the school's dedication to promoting dignity and respect. Pupils, staff and parents feel entirely valued as individuals, supported and enabled to achieve their best."
-
"Pupils who start school at different times, and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) thrive in this caring school. They focus on succeeding together."
-
"All staff share the same drive and passion to maintain an entirely pupil-centred approach in all they do, resulting in happy pupils."
We are particularly proud that the report recognised how our Christian vision creates a welcoming and inclusive community where everyone is valued, differences are celebrated and all are encouraged to flourish.
