Celebrating Inclusion at The Mill: Our Quality Mark Report is Here!

After many weeks, months—years even—of dedicated work and unwavering commitment, we are incredibly proud to share with you our Inclusion Quality Mark report. This achievement represents the heart of everything we strive for at The Mill Primary Academy. It reflects the passion, teamwork and shared belief that every child matters and everyone belongs.

We couldn’t be prouder of what the report says about our school. It recognises the work we've all poured into making The Mill a place where inclusivity isn’t just a concept, but a reality lived out every single day. This is something that every member of our school community—staff, pupils, parents and carers—can take pride in.

Here’s the opening paragraph of the report, which captures the spirit of our school so beautifully:

"The Mill Primary Academy in Crawley stands as an exemplar of inclusive education, seamlessly integrating diversity into every aspect of school life. With a student body that reflects the town’s rich and varied demographics, around one-third of pupils speak English as an additional language, and one-fifth access Pupil Premium funding. With a strong, analytical and unified Senior Leadership Team, a passionate, consistent staff team and children who feel increasingly equipped to face the journey of life, The Mill is a place where every child is given the opportunity to thrive. The school's motto, “Forever proud. Everyone. Everything. Always,” is not just a slogan, but a lived experience, reflected in the daily practice of every member of the school community."

It’s hard not to feel a sense of joy and pride reading those words. They are a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when a whole school community comes together with a shared vision of equity, care, and high expectations for all.

You can read the full report [here] (and we highly recommend you do!). It’s a lengthy one—so grab a cuppa—but it’s packed with wonderful insights into what makes The Mill so special.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Here’s to continuing to build an even more inclusive future, together.
