Awards and Quality Marks

The Inclusion Quality Mark recognises the work that we have done to support all of our children and to recognise them as individual learners.  As a school, this is an integral part of our work and a key belief we hold; that every child matters and can achieve.  We are currently recognised for the high standard for the work we do by being a Centre of Excellence, something that we are very proud of.

We are very pleased to announce that on 19th May 2022, Micklem School was granted the IQM Flagship School Award. Here is a statement from the IQM Assessor: 

"The Headteacher and current Inclusion Lead, Deputy Headteacher and SENDCO, ultimately taking on a role of Inclusion Leader, and a wider team have worked together to ensure that the inclusive ethos prevails and that the pupils remain at its centre. They have high aspirations combined with a clear understanding of the whole school community and challenges that the school faces. Leadership gives unwavering support towards inclusive practice because they believe that through inclusion all children have equal access to increased life chances".

The School Games award is one that recognises our dedication to promote healthy living and sport across the curriculum.  It takes into account the quality of our curriculum, breadth of sport we offer and the opportunities we provide our pupils to participate in sports with other schools.  It also looks at how we prepare our children to be leaders in sport.
