Inclusion Quality Mark

In November 2022 school was awarded Centre of Excellence status from IQM. As part of this qualification we are assessed annually by an IQM assessor and given three targets to work towards. We retained this status in 2023 and again in 2024. 

The 2023 report stated:

"The children in the pupil voice group were phenomenal; articulate, informed and enthusiastic. Inclusivity is a golden thread that runs through all practice."

"Northwood Community Primary School is an inspiring place to visit. Leaders never stand still at Northwood; they are always looking for ways in which they can improve the quality of provision for the children while simultaneously ensuring staff wellbeing remains high and workload manageable."

The 2024 report stated:

"The staff are a committed, driven team with shared values and a clear vision to deliver the very best possible educational experience for the pupils. The wonderfully inclusive practice goes beyond the walls of the school. Northwood lives up in every sense to its name as a community school."

Pupils said:

“It’s a brilliant school, it’s the best school around here.”

“It’s an amazing school."

“It’s the best school in the world - the best in the blue, wide world."

Parents said:

“The school makes every effort to include my child in all aspects of school life and where there are challenges the school talks to me and we talk together to find a solution.”

“The school have been perfect following a medical diagnosis for my child.”

“Reassurance from all staff has been unbelievable while my child has suffered a medical condition. The communication is incredible, I cannot fault it."
