Inclusion is graded on a 5-point scale
Inclusion is 1 of the evaluation areas that will appear on your school’s inspection report card.
Each evaluation area will be graded using Ofsted’s new 5-point grading system, with Ofsted expecting most schools to attain at least an 'expected standard' in each area. The exception is safeguarding, which is either 'met' or 'not met'.
The grades are:
- Exceptional
- Strong standard
- Expected standard
- Needs attention
- Urgent improvement
Inclusion was previously considered part of the 'personal development' judgement, but has now been pulled out into its own evaluation area and will receive its own grading.
Inclusion focuses on how well your school supports particular pupil groups
