Every young person matters and making each one of them the best they can be is what inclusion is all about.  

The 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. 

Only around 100 UK schools have achieved IQM Flagship School status. This award recognises unique schools who have held IQM Centre of Excellence status for at least 3 years; and played a strong leadership role in developing inclusion best practice across a network of schools. These schools are committed to extending their networks further and publishing classroom-based research on an annual basis.
