We are happy to share that this term we have received the IQM Inclusive School Award, a national award that recognises our commitment to creating an inclusive environment for all our children at Acre View.

To achieve the award, our school underwent a rigorous evaluation process against IQM’s nationally recognised framework. Evidence is gathered across key areas including leadership, teaching, curriculum, environment, and pupil outcomes.

Schools must demonstrate how they create inclusive classrooms, adapt teaching for a wide range of needs, and provide targeted support that helps all pupils to progress.

The report is a wonderful read, with so much glowing praise for the school. Some of the standout quotes were…

“Their visions and values are visible in every area and every action of the school.”

Welcomes children “with love and care”

“It nurtures their individuality, and it is certainly an immensely caring environment for children, staff, parents and carers and the local community.”

“There is something quietly remarkable about a staff team who not only believe in what they do but visibly love it.”

As you can imagine, we are incredibly proud of this award and the recognition of all the hard work and dedication that our staff members show every day.
