Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders know what they want children to learn. They get to know children well and use this knowledge to plan future learning. They identify any children who are at risk from falling behind. They work with parents and outside agencies to help them catch up.

Outdoor space

The children enjoy being outside, where they use paint brushes and water to paint on a wall. They jump enthusiastically in puddles, while adults sing 'It's raining, it's pouring' to them.
