In May 2025, York High School received the prestigious Inclusion Quality Mark (IQM) and was also named as a Centre of Excellence for inclusion.
The award followed a lengthy process of self-evaluation, feedback and a formal two-day assessment visit from inspectors.
The IQM provides UK schools with a nationally recognised validation of their inclusive practice and ongoing commitment to developing educational inclusion. Schools must be able to demonstrate that inclusion has a school-wide impact and is sustainable.
The IQM states that in a school or education setting, inclusion means that every child and every adult who learns and works in a school is valued and whose educational and personal needs are met, and that it is also about parents and the community in which the school exists.
You can read the inspection report here and find out more about the IQM here.
That's it! The term and school year are at an end, and what a year it has been. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of it.
