Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff successfully support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They develop well-understood plans along with other professionals to help shape the curriculum, focusing on any areas where children need extra help. As a result, children with special educational needs and/or disability are making good progress.

Outdoor space

Children's physical development is particularly good, and there is a wide range of opportunities for them to test out what their bodies can do. Older children take great pleasure in completing an assault course in the garden. Children enjoy eating the runner beans they have grown in the garden and learning about why some other vegetables did not grow successfully.
