Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive good support. The dedicated coordinator carefully assesses children's needs and puts detailed plans in place. They are swift to make referrals to other professionals to obtain further support for children with SEND, where needed. This helps to support children with SEND to reach their full potential. Outdoor space Older children take pride in accepting additional responsibilities each day. For example, the 'line counter' counts the number of children lining up before going outdoors.
