Church School Inspection
May 2026 SIAMS Inspection
We are pleased to share our SIAMS report after our inspection in May 2026. Bretherton Endowed Church of England Primary School is living up to its foundation as a Church school and is enabling pupils and adults to flourish. It noted the following strengths:
- The firmly embedded Christian vision is clear in the daily life of the school. It underpins the work of the
school and results in a strong sense of confidence and resilience in staff and pupils. - Relationships are strong. The inclusive ethos and environment, where adults and pupils are treated well
and supported, enables flourishing at all levels. - Pupils are aware of the needs of others and understand their role in challenging injustice. As a result of this
they are caring and supportive towards others and are keen to make a difference. - Spiritual development is a key priority of the school. The school offers opportunities throughout the
curriculum and over the course of the day for pupils to reflect. Pupils engage thoughtfully with challenging
questions about life and experiences. They are enabled to explore their own beliefs and understanding
through insightful discussion
I would like to thank the Diocese for their continued support and guidance.
