Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Staff recently attended training on autism, which broadened their understanding of how to support children with additional needs. This has also led to new techniques being introduced to support children to manage their emotions and enhance their speech. Staff are quick to identify emerging gaps in children's learning and development. They work exceptionally hard to address these, secure timely interventions and seek targeted support for individual children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Outdoor space
Children have an abundance of opportunities to develop their physical skills. They demonstrate how they can balance, run and cycle in the well-resourced outdoor area. Children show great enthusiasm as they dance and move their bodies along with music and song, during their music session.

A fantastic school! My three children learned and improved their French there in a supportive and stimulating environment. The teaching staff is exceptional – always attentive, dynamic, and passionate. The materials are high-quality, and the activity books are wonderful keepsakes. It's also a great place to meet new people, both children and parents. I highly recommend it!
