Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders and staff use assessment effectively to identify gaps in children's learning. They take swift action involving other professionals and work with parents to develop individual support plans for children who need them. Targeted plans are implemented to support children's next steps in learning. This ensures all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress.

Outdoor space

Outdoors, children delight as they practise their large motor skills. Children confidently climb ropes and run. Staff encourage children to keep trying as they jump onto balancing stones, supporting their spatial awareness and coordination as they step from one to the next.
