Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders and managers are extremely proactive in seeking early help for children when needed. They liaise very effectively with other professionals and external agencies to ensure that all children receive the help they require, to make the best possible progress in relation to their individual starting points.

Outdoor space

Children make independent choices in their play, including if they want to play inside or outside. They have good opportunities to develop their physical skills and benefit from fresh air. Children enjoy outside play, using their senses to explore sand and water, taking turns on the swing, mark making, or mastering peddling a tricycle.
