Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff show children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) high levels of patience and care. The special educational needs coordinator works well alongside parents and other professionals to develop and review plans for the children. However, at times staff do not fully implement these plans. This does not ensure that children with SEND consistently receive the support they require.

Outdoor space

The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning.
