Proudly Inclusive: Wardle Academy Achieves Prestigious Inclusive Attendance Bronze Accreditation

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Wardle Academy has officially been awarded the Inclusive Attendance Bronze Standard Accreditation!

This incredible milestone recognises our academy’s deep commitment to fostering a warm, supportive, and inclusive school culture where every single student feels valued, safe, and ready to learn.

Rather than simply tracking numbers, our focus is entirely on the “whole child”—understanding the barriers to school attendance and working hand-in-hand with our families to overcome them.

Achieving the Bronze Standard required a rigorous professional learning journey for staff across the school, an independent audit of our practices and the implementation of an evidence-based action plan. This achievement sits perfectly at the heart of The Wardle Way

  • Empathy & Wellbeing: We approach attendance with kindness, prioritising the mental and physical health of our young people.
  • Ambition: We want every student in school, every day, maximising their potential.
  • Leadership: Our entire team—from our teachers and support staff to our leadership and governors—has stepped up to lead this positive change.

A huge thank you goes out to our dedicated staff for their hard work in achieving this benchmark, and to our wonderful families for continuing to partner with us. This Bronze plaque is just the beginning of our journey as we continue to build an environment where every child can thrive!
