We are proud to announce that we have been awarded Centre of Excellence Status by the Inclusion Quality Mark assessment panel. This award shows our dedication to inclusive classroom practice where all children, regardless of need, are catered for. As one of only a small handful of schools in Kent to achieve Centre of Excellence status, we now look forward to widening our offer further - ensuring our children benefit from a fully inclusive environment which allows everyone to thrive.
"Staff are keen to remove barriers to learning and understand pupils’ needs in a holistic way, for example, by giving all pupils access to breakfast bagels to ensure they are alert and ready to learn in class."
"The newly adopted phonics programme has been instrumental in supporting all pupils, particularly those with SEND and the refugee children, who often arrive at the school with no English and minimal literacy in their own language.
"The school values are high profile, encouraging all pupils to REACH for success through demonstrating Resilience, Effort, Aspiration, Courtesy and Honesty."
"Personalised interventions are being used, such as the school caretaker and a mentor from Inclusive Sport interacting with pupils on a one-to-one basis, working as positive male role models. This has impacted the behaviour of these pupils and increased their engagement with learning."
"Assessments are not just focused on academic achievement but also recognise improvement in emotional wellbeing and readiness to learn."
"Staff ensure they are visible and have an open dialogue using a range of types of communication, which has significantly increased parental trust and engagement."
