Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress from their starting points. The special educational needs coordinator works closely with staff, parents and other professionals to target support for these children, including one-to-one support. This helps to ensure they get the help they need to make the progress they are capable of.

Outdoor space

Children have great fun outdoors as they join in musical games. They listen intently as they follow instructions to jump, crawl, run and stop.
