Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are happy, settled and making good progress in all areas of learning. Staff support children with SEND effectively. Staff quickly identify children who need more help. They put effective strategies in place to support children's learning and development. The team works in close partnership with parents and outside agencies. Staff use any additional funding well to support children's individual needs.

Outdoor space

In the summer, they visit the local park, participate in forest-school sessions and grow a variety of produce in the vegetable plots. Children have access to a well-resourced and safe outdoor garden. However, staff do not make the best use of the garden throughout the year. This prevents children from benefiting from wider and more consistent learning opportunities each day.
