Julian’s Primary School is the proud holder of the Inclusion Quality Mark (IQM). We are a Centre of Excellence for Inclusion and in November 2019 we were awarded the IQM Flagship Status. We have maintained our Flagship status in our most recent inspection in October 2025. This enables us to share our outstanding practice with other schools in London and neighbouring areas.

At Julian’s, we have an unwavering commitment to inclusion and diversity with the aim that each and every one of our pupils has a full sense of belonging within our school and our community. 

We strongly believe that all pupils should be provided with equal opportunities regardless of their age, gender, language, level of attainment, ethnicity, medical condition, background or their special educational needs or disabilities and other attributes which can be perceived as different, including race, religion or belief and sexual orientation. 

Inclusive education at Julian’s means that all pupils attend and are welcomed by the school in age-appropriate classes and are supported to learn, contribute and participate in all aspects of the life of the school. We want our pupils to be safe, achieve, be healthy, enjoy life and grow up to be successful adults who will make a positive contribution to the society in which they live.  Where children have additional needs, we ensure that steps are taken to prevent these from becoming a barrier to learning.

"I was given a fabulous tour by a group of Year 6 pupils who left no stone unturned, showing me the entire Norwood site.

They showed me the Zones of Regulation in every classroom, the calm corners and the maps showing pupils' heritage. Pupils had an excellent understanding of the Rights Respecting award and were very keen to tell me how proud they are of their school being so inclusive with one pupil telling me, ‘We celebrate where people are from.’

This group of pupils were also keen to tell me about how pupils with additional needs are supported, explaining ‘we have quite calm corners in every classroom, a place where you can go if you are needing time out.’ This was a truly wonderful group of young people, and I really enjoyed meeting them."
