Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported particularly well. Staff work closely with other professionals, such as occupational therapists and speech and language therapists, to ensure these children can reach the best possible outcomes. Support plans are monitored with rigour and reviewed with precision. Staff also learn to use picture exchange to support communication with children with SEND more effectively.

Outdoor space

Children spend a lot of time outdoors exploring the garden, learning about planting and growing. Staff support older children as they explore real tools and wooden blocks, teaching them how a saw is used for cutting wood. Children also have outings into the local community to observe building sites.
