Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are extremely well supported. Leaders are unwavering in their approach to accessing support for children. Liaison with other agencies is timely and appropriate. Additional funding is effectively used to ensure children receive the support they require. Children with SEND make significant progress from their individual starting points. Outdoor space Children use their highly-developed physical skills as they roam freely around the spacious, outdoor area. They skilfully balance beanbags onto tennis rackets and catch them after throwing them in the air. They delight in rolling and sliding down hills. They use all their strength to transport objects in the wheelbarrow.
