Basic Skills Quality Mark Award

Basic Skills Quality Mark Award

We are very pleased and proud to announce that we have been credited with the Early Years & Primary Quality Mark. This recognises the high quality provision that we provide and our commitment to continually improve standards at Inmans Primary School. This award is actively promoted by the Improvement and Learning Service. This quality assurance programme gives nationally recognised accreditation against ten key elements of school improvement. It is a highly effective way of ensuring effective self-evaluation and improvement planning processes are in place and having the required impact across your school.
