Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is excellent. Staff understand how crucial early intervention is to fully support children and their families. Parents praise the impact the interventions have had on their children. The special educational needs coordinator spoke to the inspector about how they support children with SEND.

Outdoor space

Children learn to put on their coats and shoes, ready for the garden. There is an abundance of opportunities for children to be physically active and develop their small and large muscles, including jumping from platforms, balancing, climbing, throwing, catching, and enjoying a 20-minute weekly walk to Clapham Common for forest school sessions.

We are not French family but decided to send my daughter here as we heard good words about it. It is a very warm school, the staff are wonderful, my daughter loves every teacher she had interaction with, to the extent she wants to invite them for play dates and birthday party. The food menu is healthy, activities are varied and you get to know a diverse group of parents. The school offers clubs for busy working parents too.

All our kids have been at EdP, and I honestly couldn't have wished for a more lovely, nurturing learning environment for them. The staff are all wonderful, without exception, the kids have fun, but are gently challenged, couldn't recommend it more highly.
