Every young person matters and making each one of them the best they can be is what inclusion is all about.  Inclusion Quality Mark has been assessing and recognising schools for their hard work on making inclusion matter since 2004.  

An inclusive school gives all pupils regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity, achievements or background the equal opportunities to succeed. In return Inclusion Quality Mark provides schools with a nationally recognised framework to recognise the efforts they are making to be inclusive.  There are over 6,500 schools in the UK who have either received an IQM Inclusive School Award or are currently working towards it.  

We are delighted to announce Childs Hill School has been awarded the Inclusion Quality Mark (IQM) for our ongoing commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive environment and providing the very best education for all.

Over the course of two days, the IQM inspection evaluated our school against 8 elements that measure, assess and guide our inclusion journey. The nationally recognised IQM framework highlights that inclusion promotes equal opportunities for all pupils, whatever their age, ethnicity, attainment and background. It pays particular attention to the provision made for, and the achievement of, different groups of pupils within a school and any pupils who are at risk of disaffection and exclusion.

We are immensely proud that within our traditional Victorian building, we uphold ethos that is modern and welcoming and reflecting the diverse community we serve.
