The Portsmouth Inclusive Education Quality Mark (PIE QM) is a self-assessment tool which enables you to identify strengths and areas for development in relation to inclusive education practice.

It has been developed in response to a need identified by schools. The work has been led by schools and overseen by the Inclusion Group, which is chaired by a secondary head teacher.

The PIE QM:

• Meets the requirements of the new Ofsted Framework and a focus on a more inclusive curriculum
• Recognises and celebrates settings with successful practice
• Enables us to identify and share good practice across the city
• Supports effective targeting of training and resources
• Provides effective tools / strategies to help schools become more inclusive and address increasing complexity
• Will support your planning to improve school attendance, attainment and progress
• Is designed to increase parental engagement

The PIE QM includes 10 standards:

• Welcoming school and ethos (includes access and environment)
• Leadership and management
• Behaviour and safeguarding
• Curriculum and opportunities
• Social and emotional health and wellbeing
• Teaching and learning
• Monitoring progress and attainment
• Participation of students and young people
• Partnerships with stakeholders (families, governors, community)
• Transition
