Staff know their key children well and are quick to identify when children may require additional support. They regularly review children's individual education plans, make timely referrals for extra support, and ensure additional funding is used to provide children with the help they need to close the gaps in their learning. Leaders also organise additional training for staff to extend support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Outdoor space
