Supplementary schools can then go on to obtain nationally recognised quality assurance, the NRCSE Quality Mark. Obtaining a 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 the academic achievement and well being of their pupils.


Quality assured supplementary schools can have their details included our searchable directory of supplementary schools. From 1st September 2016, the directory will only show supplementary schools that have registered with us their commitment to providing a safe and effective learning environment and have completed nationally recognised quality assurance (eg. the new Quality Mark, a Quality Framework Award, 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.

The National Resource Centre for Supplementary Education is a charity providing quality assurance and training for supplementary schools, Saturday schools,  after-school projects, mother-tongue classes, complementary schools and individuals developing out-of-school-hours educational support for children.
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 call us on 020 7697 4027.

What Supplementary Schools tell about us

I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate you and your colleagues at NRCSE for this achievement and thank you for the work you have done with us so far. At Rustam School we look forward to remaining active members of the organization and working with you to further improve our services to the community.
