Inclusive Schools Award

In January 2023, we were proudly awarded IQM’s Inclusive Schools Award.

Over a 2-day assessment period, we welcomed an assessor into the school who made judgments on the following elements:

  • Element 1: The Inclusive Values of the School
  • Element 2: Leadership and management and Accountability
  • Element 3: Curriculum, Structure, Pupil Engagement and Adaptation
  • Element 4: Teaching and Learning – Learning Environment, Planning, Resources, Pedagogy
  • Element 5: Assessment
  • Element 6: Behaviour, Attitudes to Learning and Personal Development
  • Element 7: Parents, Carers and Guardians
  • Element 8: Links with Local, Wider and Global Community

Meetings were held with:

  • Headteacher
  • Deputy Headteacher for Inclusion
  • Deputy Headteacher for Curriculum and Assessment
  • IQM lead
  • Pupils, including pupils from leadership roles, interventions and with individual experiences
  • Teaching Assistants (TAs) for Life Skills
  • Teachers
  • Governor
  • Learning Mentor
  • Speech and Language Therapy (SALT) team
  • Special Educational Needs (SEN) Assistants
  • Parents

Several parents made the following comments:

  • “My child needs the inclusion at Clarendon, and I trust the staff that this will continue as they move through the school.”
  • “I have attended every single workshop for parents and I have learnt how to help my child at home and how best to support them. All of the staff are brilliant here. My children have had brilliant experiences ever since joining in Reception.”
  • “It is an honour for us as parents to be able to come here today to speak to you about Clarendon. I didn’t know a school could give so much help to a family.”
  • Children spoke confidently about their experiences at Clarendon. Comments such as:
    • “School cares for my family and me.”
    • “I use the working wall and then I’m not so confused.”
    • “This is a really good school. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.”
    • “Everyone’s kind around us. They make you feel it’s ok to talk, feel happy and calm. Then if you tell them a worry, they take it out in small bits and work on it and by the
      end of the week, you feel relieved.”
    • “I wouldn’t change anything because I think everything is perfect just as it is.

Everything is really nice; a nice environment, nice friendly staff who are funny.
