Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

The support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is effective. Staff recognise when children are at risk of falling behind and seek additional support from leaders. Children benefit from targeted support to help address gaps in learning. Leaders have links with outside professionals and make timely referrals when necessary.

Outdoor space

Children have daily access to the well-equipped outdoor area. They use the equipment with confidence and manage risk safely. Children balance on tyres showing good levels of control. They use the climbing wall with determination eagerly navigating to the top without support.
