Barby CE Primary School

BarbyChurchBeing a Church School

Barby C of E Primary has been a Church of England school since its foundation and is now part of the family of schools within the Peterborough Diocese Education Trust having converted to Academy status on 1st July 2014.

As a Church school, we do not only undergo Ofsted inspections but also the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS), also known as a Section 48 inspection. More information about these can be found on the Church of England website.

The outcome of our last SIAMS Inspection (March 2017) was an overall Good grade; the inspection team reported that;

  • The distinctiveness and effectiveness of the school as a Church of England school are good.
  • Christian values are lived out through a strong family ethos.  This has a powerful impact on the wellbeing and relationships of everyone in the school community.
  • The headteacher and senior leaders provide clear direction, inspired by a Christian vision, that ensures the school is fully inclusive and meets the needs of all learners.
  • The contribution of clergy and foundation governors ensures the school's Christian character is secure and sustainable for the future.
