Achievement for All
Iqra has been working in partnership with Achievement for All since Autumn 2015 and has seen a marked improvement in many aspects including working with parents and carers on children’s targets as part of the AfA framework.
Achievement for All works closely with parents, carers, teachers and the individual child to secure the best outcome and attainment for the pupils through personalised and specific targets. The specific programmes of support aim to raise children’s self-esteem, build stamina and resilience and remove barriers to learning.
Iqra is now recognised for its work by the award of the Achievement for All Quality Mark which recognises the impressive work being done by the school to improve progress in reading, writing and maths for all pupils, particularly those with barriers to learning.
Iqra is continuing to build on the success and accomplishments of this effective initiative.
