SIAMS Inspection 2023
I am delighted to be able to let you know that we have received a glowing report from the SIAMS inspectors. I have chosen to use the inspectors first paragraph in full below to introduce the report and following this I have listed ten further comments for you to read. The photograph above is of a great RE teaching team who’s work was greatly praised by the inspector.
“At the heart of the city of Manchester, this diverse community is one with God at it’s heart. Established to serve a multicultural, multifaith population, Trinity succeeds as a place of faith, valuing everyone and pursuing excellence. In this, it is true to its contextually appropriate Christian vision. This is because leaders, including governors, rigorously and robustly evaluate both the potential, and actual, impact of their policies and decisions. The ‘Trinity Together’ approach, built on Christian values, provides a common understanding of difference, diversity and inclusion. This enables all to find their place and know that they are welcomed into a culture of care and respect.”
Our ‘top ten’ comments:
“Pupils say they feel safe within the school.”
“Parents reflect that they choose this school because it represents modern society and mirrors their care and aspirations for their children.”
“Students are enabled in their sporting, creative and spiritual flourishing through a rich provision of formal learning and enrichment activities.”
“The school’s location supports and encourages the vast array of different partnerships that it embraces and pursues to the advantage of all.”
“Inspired by the Christian vision’s intention of ‘care and happiness’, pupils know the value of dignity and respect for all.”
“Leaders are mindful of the needs of the community and proactive in their care for all.”
“Pupil leadership roles are many and respond to pupils interests and strengths.”
“The talented team of religious education (RE) teachers are very capably guided so that pupils enjoy and succeed in their learning.”
“The inspection findings indicate that Trinity Church of England High School is living up to its foundation as a Church school.”
Comment from Deborah Smith, Diocesan Director of Education
“I was delighted to read the recent SIAMS report which highlighted a myriad of ways in which Trinity High School enables both adults and students to flourish within a Christian environment. Keep up the great work.”
