Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff use effective observation and assessment to identify gaps in children's learning and swiftly put support in place. Leaders have recently created an additional area for small-group work and quieter activities to target specific areas of learning. The special educational needs and/or disability coordinator spoke to the inspector about how they support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Outdoor space

Children relish being in their creative shed, which they named the 'happy space'. Younger children explore their sensory needs as they dig and investigate in the mud. Children splash in puddles in the rain, and staff support children's language as they say, 'Wow, a big puddle! Splash, splash!'
