Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress from their starting points. Staff spoke to the inspector about how they support children with SEND.

Outdoor space

Staff provide many opportunities for children to practise their physical skills. For example, during a forest school session, children push their child-sized tractors to the top of the hill and excitedly wheel back down. They climb on the swings and navigate how to move backwards and forwards. The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning.
