New National Inclusion Champions Revealed

We are delighted to reveal our new National Inclusion Champions for 2024/25. Securing the coveted title in the second year of the award are: Bensham Manor School; Greenhill Special School; Holy Cross Catholic Primary; Kingsford Community School; Malet Lambert School; Mulberry Academy Shoreditch; Percy Shurmer Academy; Sir Jonathan North Girls College; and The Duston School.

Cherished and Celebrated

Each of these schools has demonstrated excellence when it comes to inclusive practice. They have created welcoming schools where diversity is cherished and celebrated and have shown they are willing to work with other schools to spread the powerful message of inclusion across the UK.

Congratulating the new National Inclusion Champions, Joe McCann, CEO of IQM explained, “These schools exemplify everything IQM stands for. They have demonstrated without a doubt that inclusion is at the heart of every single thing that happens in their schools, and this in turn makes them places where pupils and staff can thrive. The IQM Family is all about the sharing of great ideas, and we look forward to working with our new Champions to help them disseminate some of their best practice with many of our other schools.”

Thank You

Joe continued, “This is the second year we have chosen IQM National Inclusion Champions, and we were once again astounded with the calibre of entries submitted. We received entries from right across the UK and we would like to say a massive ‘thank you’ to everyone who took the time to enter.  We admire your passion when it comes to inclusion, and the creativity and ingenuity which you have employed to allow inclusion to flourish in your schools is truly commendable.”
