Bredon Hill Academy is proud to have been awarded the IQM Inclusive School Award for 2026. We are starting the process to be a 'Centre of Excellence' for our inclusive practices for all our community.

We were assessed in January 2026 and our report is available here.

Some highlights include:

• "It is crystal clear that inclusion is high on the agenda at Bredon Hill; this is underpinned by the importance placed on knowing students and families inside out. This allows staff to stay one step ahead of major issues and plan effective support."
• "School Leaders are relentless in ensuring all policies and procedures link back to the core values [belief, honesty and aspiration] to ensure that everyone feels safe, happy and valued."
• "The positive and respectful relationships between students and adults have a massive impact on decision making and their effectiveness."
• "Attitudes to learning are exemplary with students showing a real love for learning...When meeting a group of students, it was clear how happy they were to be at the school. One student said, “everyone is safe here and everyone is kind to each other”. Another acknowledged the support they receive saying “our teachers and TAs help us so much but they always ask us to try and work it out for ourselves first which I like.”"
• "The curriculum really engages students and they are fully invested in their journey helped by incredibly enthusiastic teachers who have a genuine love for their subject and students."
• "Parents spoke very positively about the focus on their child as individuals to ensure they were both challenged and supported."

Inclusion is everyone's responsibility at Bredon Hill Academy.  Our provision is adapted to suit the context of the individual pupil and family as far as possible to ensure we have the highest expectations for all, regardless of starting point, background or additional need.
