Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress. Staff worked with a speech and language therapist over an extended period and are experts in developing children's communication and language. Leaders work with the local authority inclusion team and make referrals in a timely manner to provide children with adequate support.

Outside, children are excited and set up a parachute activity with their friends. They work together to move the parachute and keep the ball on the parachute, singing 'Row row row the boat' while doing so.
