School Inspection

As a Church of England Primary School, West Malling CE Primary School and The McGinty Speech and Language Centre is subject to two inspection regimes - OFSTED and SIAMS.

OFSTED

West Malling CE Primary School and The McGinty Speech and Language Centre is a "Good" school with outstanding features - as recognised in our Ofsted inspection of May 2013. Following a short inspection in October 2017 we were judged to still be a "Good" school.

The full reports are available through the documents below.

SIAMS - Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools

SIAMS is focused on exploring one central question: "How effective is the school's distinctive Christian vision, established and promoted by leadership at all levels, in enabling pupils and adults to flourish?"

This question is then explored through seven strands:

• Vision and Leadership
• Wisdom, Knowledge and Skills
• Character Development: Hope, Aspiration and Courageous Advocacy
• Community and Living Well Together
• Dignity and Respect
• Impact of Collective Worship
• Effectiveness of Religious Education

West Malling CE Primary School and The McGinty Speech and Language Centre was last inspected on 9th March 2022 where we achieved an overall grade of "Good". The inspector found that "the Christian vision is woven through school life so that the community actively embrace inclusion and flourishing. As a result, pupils express their thoughts and act with certainty."
