Hayes Primary Inclusive School Award

This is a standard for assessing schools against a nationally recognised framework on inclusion. It contains eight elements, all practical parts of the life of a school, which deal with inclusion in its widest sense and in all aspects of school life. The two-day assessment included meetings with SLT, parents, pupils, support staff, pastoral support staff (mentor, family liaison lead, counsellor), speech and language therapist and governors.

The assessor’s report praised

"The school's warm and welcoming ethos is evident from the moment that you step into reception."

In addition she stated that

"Good teaching ensures that the pupils are engaged during lessons and achieve their potential."

We would like to thank all our staff who contributed to the school being given this award.
