Flagship School for Inclusion
Flagship School for Inclusion
Barton Hill Academy is an Inclusion Quality Mark (IQM) Flagship Status School for its continual work in improving the opportunities for its community and has recently secured the title of IQM National Inclusion Champion Award school, one of only eight schools nationwide to receive this accolade for our excellence in inclusive practice, where diversity is cherished and celebrated.
The award of Flagship Status means our inclusive provision for Special Educational Needs has been recognised as being the best academic standards and practice for inclusion seen across the country and the school actively works with other schools to spread the powerful message of inclusion across the UK.
The academy's inclusive practice featured prominently in an All Parlimentary Party Group Report on Dyslexia - our specialist teacher, assessor and lead on dyslexia subsequently presented in Westminster on school's best national practice.

"High quality teaching, differentiated for individual pupils, is the first step in responding to pupils who have or may have SEND. Additional intervention and support cannot compensate for a lack of good quality teaching."
