Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Staff understand that some children need additional support with their learning. They constantly adapt their teaching to enable all children to experience challenge. All children, including children who speak English as an additional language, are exceptionally well supported.
Outdoor space
Children excitedly make decisions about whether to play inside or outside. Staff have recently completed an outdoor mark-making course, which helps them to extend opportunities for children to practise their writing and drawing skills outside.
EAL / language support
All children, including children who speak English as an additional language, are exceptionally well supported. For example, as some children pop bubbles, they learn the word 'pop'. Staff ask children questions, introducing new words, such as 'big' and 'more'. Children repeat the language which they have learned.
