Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those who are in receipt of additional funding and those with special educational needs/and or disabilities, make good progress from their starting points. The management team recognise there is more they can do to extend staff knowledge and practice to enhance the support for children's speech and language skills. However, for those children with speech and language delay or limited confidence to speak, staff are not fully successful in enabling them to express their wants needs or wishes as fully as possible.

Outdoor space

The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning. Staff ensure that children are supervised when playing indoors and outside, and take swift action to remove or minimise risks to children, to keep them safe.
