![](https://www.gaglebrook.org.uk/images/news/iqm-inclusive-school-award.png)We are delighted to share the fantastic news that Gagle Brook Primary School has been awarded the prestigious Inclusion Quality Mark (IQM) following a rigorous assessment in early February. This esteemed accolade is given to schools that demonstrate outstanding inclusive practices, ensuring an environment where every child can thrive. We are incredibly proud to have achieved this recognition.

### Comprehensive Assessment of Our School

During the evaluation process, several key elements of our school were assessed, alongside discussions with parents, carers, governors, and other members of our school community. These included:

1. Vision and values
2. Leadership and management
3. Curriculum and adaptations to learning
4. Teaching and learning Assessment
5. Behaviour, attitudes, attendance, and personal development
6. Community links

### Summary of the IQM Report

We are pleased to share a summary of the overall evaluation:

> *Gagle Brook is a wonderful small, friendly and welcoming school which has its own unique identity and a distinct family feel. In EYFS a pupil chorused, as I entered: “Hello special visitor.” You do feel special visiting Gagle Brook. The pupils could not be better advocates for the deeply embedded inclusive approach which leadership and the staff team adopt. They are articulate, enthusiastic children who clearly love attending Gagle Brook and are flourishing as a result of the school’s lived values. Leaders in the school look through the lens of equity, equality, diversity and inclusion when planning the curriculum, the choice of texts, and experiences for the children. Gagle Brook Primary celebrates, respects and values all different cultures and backgrounds. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils and have introduced a set of core values, the ACHIEVE Values and curriculum golden threads to develop a culture of aspiration within the school.*

Achieving the IQM is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our staff, students, and the entire school community. It also reinforces our commitment to refining and enhancing our approach, ensuring Gagle Brook Primary remains a place where every child can succeed and feel valued.

We are grateful to everyone involved in helping us achieve this accolade. Together, we will continue to build a school that upholds the highest standards of inclusivity and excellence.
