Inclusion & environment
Staff use assessment and robust progress monitoring arrangements to accurately identify what they want children to learn next. They use this to form a tailored approach that ensures all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who speak English as an additional language, make excellent progress within their learning. Staff work seamlessly with other professionals, including speech and language therapists, to provide exceptional support from the earliest point.
