Supplementary schools can then go on to obtain nationally recognised quality assurance, the Quality Mark for Supplementary Education. The Quality Mark for Supplementary Education is given at Foundation and Advanced level.

Obtaining a Foundation Quality Mark requires evidence of safe and effective practice in line with Section 11 of the Children Act and at least one visit of the school in action by a registered quality assurance mentor or appropriate person. The mentor will provide a witness statement detailing practice in governance, management, teaching and partnership. The mentor will also provide a detailed recommendation of how the school can develop their practice and build partnerships to further academic achievement and well being of their pupils.

The registration fee for an Advanced Quality Mark is £500. This includes a 2-4hr visit to your setting in action to observe teaching and learning, speak with trustees/management, staff, pupils and parents;  the recognition meeting with educational and governance experts; a detailed report and recommendations. Register for an Advanced Quality Mark Recognition Meeting.


Quality assured supplementary schools can have their details included our searchable directory of quality assured supplementary schools. Showing your commitment to providing a safe and effective learning environment and confirming that you have completed nationally recognised quality assurance (eg. the NRCSE Quality Mark, QiSS, Beacon Madrassah status, Charities Evaluation Service, Ofsted).

A quality-assured entry on the directory shows funders, parents and mainstream schools that you are contributing to pupil achievement and strengthening local communities.

If you would like to speak to someone about any aspect of our quality assurance scheme, or if you need help with filling in your application form, please email us mon@ypftrust.org.uk .

What Supplementary Schools tell about us

I want to thank you again for your patient encouragement for us to apply for the Quality Mark. It has been a lot of extra effort when we didn’t think we had time, but now definitely worth it to reach this stage – so thank you from all of us.
