Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
The special educational needs coordinator is highly knowledgeable and demonstrates her abilities through planning for children requiring additional support. Individual care plans are in depth and are shared and used by the staff to provide experiences to support children in their learning and development. These children are making rapid progress.
Outdoor space
Children enjoy exploring the huge school field and are excited to use their own maps to hunt for a bear. They run to find different spaces and hide behind bushes and tree trunks. Children regularly access the book area while they are outside and sit together sharing familiar stories. Adult-led activities are extended into the outdoor area, for example, children draw maps to follow and re-enact storylines.
