Ranelagh at the Forefront of Inclusion - report reveals
Ranelagh is delighted to announce that, after a visit in February 2024, our Inclusion Quality Mark (IQM) Flagship School status (the highest award level possible) has been renewed yet again.
This tremendous achievement is a testament to the skill and hard work of all our teachers, children and parents and to their ongoing commitment to ensuring that inclusion is at the heart of everything we do at Ranelagh Primary School, where each and every one of us ‘live and breathe inclusion’.
The Inclusion Quality Mark provides the school with a nationally recognised framework which supports our inclusion journey and shows that our school is at the forefront of inclusive practice in this country. This truly is an accolade to be proud of!
Our Social Inclusion Model-a model where children of all abilities learn alongside and with each other is fully embedded within our ethos and culture without compromising the rigorous academic standards we aspire to.

Some quotes from the Report include:
Ranelagh Primary School is at the forefront of Inclusion practice in this country.
The total inclusive ethos has been made possible due to an inspirational leadership team who have successfully shared their inclusive philosophy with all the staff and parents at the school.
The social model is totally embedded within the culture and ethos of the school.
This ethos of social inclusion is not at the detriment of academic progress. The children follow a rigorous and stimulating curriculum with a strong emphasis on the arts.
Teaching assistants are experts in the interventions that they lead and are very responsive to the needs of their assigned pupil.
Parents commented on how “When I come here, it feels like part of my family. It is so important to me as I need such a lot of help with my children.”
