Oatlands Infants Celebrate Excellence in Inclusivity

We’re incredibly proud to share that Oatlands Infant School has been awarded Flagship Status in the Inclusion Quality Mark – the highest level of national recognition for inclusive practice.

This achievement is a powerful reflection of the Trust’s mission of ambition, learning and enrichment for all, which runs through every aspect of school life.

The IQM review highlighted Oatlands Infants’:

Relentlessly high expectations for every learner
Strong culture of wellbeing for pupils, staff and families
Innovative learning environments, including a bespoke sensory space and exceptional outdoor provision
Deep understanding of pupils’ social, emotional and sensory needs

Inspectors also praised the school’s strong sense of belonging, with families describing a community where children feel safe, represented and heard. At Oatlands, inclusion isn’t an initiative — it’s embedded in the curriculum, leadership and everyday practice.

Congratulations to the entire Oatlands Infant School community on this outstanding and well‑deserved recognition!
