We are proud to have a number of Church schools within our Trust, each unique in their distinctiveness but united in their Christian vision and values in supporting the education of pupils and support for their communities. We know from our schools that positive relationships between schools and parishes offer rich experiences to young people and their families.

How Kaleidoscope supports its Church Schools...
Kaleidoscope celebrates and supports its Church Schools vision, values and Christian distinctiveness. Church Schools and the communities they serve are important and integral members of our MAT and we work hard at all levels of governance to ensure that our policies, procedures and actions capture this. This is encapsulated in our 5C's.
Half of our Members and Trustees are Foundation members and have been approved by the Diocese of Bath and Wells. Church Schools are a specific focus at our meetings and we have developed policies for the Church Schools within our MAT. Kaleidoscope has a close working partnership with the Diocese and our leaders and staff attend meetings/training led them. The Kaleidoscope Trustees are fully supportive of the Statutory Inspection of our Church schools and work in conjunction with the Diocese to support school development in these specific areas. In addition to this, we have our Church Schools Forum where we discuss policy and develop best practice across our Church Schools. As a MAT, our schools and leaders work collaboratively together. This is part of Kaleidoscopes ethos.

Statutory Inspection of Anglican and

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. It does so by seeking to answer six or (in the case of Voluntary Aided schools) seven Inspection Questions (IQs).
SIAMS inspection focuses on the impact of the Church school's Christian vision on pupils and adults. This involves looking at the school’s Christian vision, the provision the school makes because of this vision and how effective this provision is in enabling all pupils to flourish. Church schools will employ a variety of strategies and styles appropriate to, and reflective of, their particular context in order to be distinctively and effectively Christian in their character and ethos. SIAMS inspectors therefore do not look for a set template of what a Church school should be like, but rather take the particular context of the school into account and base their evaluation on the outcomes rather than the process.
