Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those with complex special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are nurtured and very well cared for. Children who may need additional support are identified extremely quickly and planning, with parents, to meet their needs is thorough. The SENCo and staff consistently use training and advice from other professionals, such as occupational and speech therapists, to help ensure all children have the same opportunity to achieve the best start to their education.

Outdoor space

Children decide whether to play indoors or with the many outdoor play activities. For instance, they take pencils and clip boards to write and draw outside. They are excited to feel the rain and run around in the wind, and develop good balance and challenge themselves as they climb on ladders, planks and frames.
