Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The special educational needs coordinator completes training to develop her knowledge of supporting children's communication and language; she offers small-group activities to focus on speaking skills and additional funding is used to help close gaps in children's learning.

Outdoor space

Children go on outings to the park and woodlands to develop physical skills and experience nature; older children go on walks in the community to build stamina. The manager improved the boundary fence for privacy when children play outside and children wear high-visibility waistcoats on walks.
