Inclusion Quality Mark

The Inclusion Quality Mark provides UK schools with a nationally recognised validation of their inclusive practice and ongoing commitment to developing educational inclusion.

There are three award levels, beginning with the IQM Inclusive School Award. Two higher award levels are available to schools that continue to grow and develop their practice in conjunction with other like-minded schools – IQM Centre of Excellence Award and IQM Flagship School Award.

In 2022, Castle Hill Infant and Junior schools were awarded the IQM Inclusive school award and the Centre of Excellence award following a multi-stage award process. The IQM is a continual process with yearly reviews to ensure continued excellence. 

“Castle Hill Infant and Junior Schools are examples of schools committed to meet the

needs of their children and are outstanding in their commitment to and implementation

of inclusive practice. They work as one school and the SLT has a clear commitment to

inclusion and supports staff well. Adults within the schools subscribe to the enthusiasm

for the inclusion agenda and staff are kept well informed about the IQM process. There

is a good understanding of the targets set for the coming year and how they will impact

on the inclusive values in the school.”
