Three levels

The ECM Quality Mark has 3 levels:

Bronze: The ECM Quality Mark Bronze award (equivalent to Ofsted judgement of Satisfactory)

Silver: The ECM Quality Mark Silver award (equivalent to Ofsted judgement of Good)

Gold: The ECM Quality Mark Gold award (equivalent to Ofsted judgement of Outstanding)

In order to achieve the ECM Quality Mark at any level, all KPIs for each Strand of each Objective, related to that level, must be achieved.
Achievement of the Silver Quality Mark requires achievement of the Bronze and Silver Level criteria and achievement of the Gold Quality Mark requires achievement of the Bronze, Silver and Gold Level criteria.
