Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Leaders have put effective observation and assessment procedures in place. Staff swiftly identify gaps in children's learning and development. They work closely with parents and other professionals to ensure that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well.
