Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The support for children who have additional needs is both timely and highly effective. Key persons know children well, and leaders have an in-depth oversight of the progress of different cohorts of children as a result of their rigorous monitoring of children's development, which enables any gaps in children's development to be identified swiftly.

Outdoor space

In the recently developed outdoor area, children work together to shift logs to make dens. They can also think critically about how to safely clamber up low-level branches on trees. This helps them develop excellent social skills and promotes large-muscle development.
