Belgrave St. Peter’s Primary School, Thurcaston Road, Leicester are proud to report that the school is ‘living up to its foundation as a Church school and is enabling pupils and adults to flourish’ after a recent Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) by the Church of England. 

The school, which is part of Rise Multi Academy Trust, was described as having ‘real sense of Christian love’ which is ‘intrinsic in every aspect of school life’. A SIAMS inspection reviews how effective a church school is in delivering a strong Christian ethos, to enable pupils and staff and the school community to thrive. 

Inspectors noted the hard work staff have put in, to embed the Christian values into the school culture, commenting ‘the clear and succinct values of faith mean pupils and staff live out the vision with great empathy and love.’  

Additionally, Inspectors found that the ‘family at Belgrave St. Peter’s has a meaningful and deeply embedded Christian vision’ where ‘love is strikingly normal for this diverse school community’, showcasing the hard work that staff and pupils have made to create a loving and inclusive environment for all, fostered on the core Christian values of the school.  

Mark Cole, CEO at Rise commented ‘We are delighted with the SIAMS outcome. School leaders and staff have worked really hard to make the improvements that were seen by inspectors.’   

Courtney Ouriach, Headteacher said ‘Staff at Belgrave St. Peters are proud to share our SIAMS report with our school community. We found the entire inspection a positive experience and are proud that the inspector was able to see how we embody our vision and values day to day as a school family."
