Inclusive Mainstream Funding (IMF)

At St James’s CE Primary School, we are committed to being an inclusive-by-design school, where every child is known, valued and supported to participate fully in school life.

Our Inclusive Mainstream Funding (IMF) is used strategically to strengthen provision for pupils with additional needs, reduce barriers to learning and promote increasing independence. Our approach reflects our commitment to Lived Inclusion – ensuring that inclusion is not simply something we provide, but something children experience every day through belonging, participation and high-quality teaching.

Our IMF Strategy and Action Plan below sets out how funding is used, the provision it supports and how we evaluate its impact on outcomes for pupils.
