Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

systems to ensure that children's transition to their next phase of education is as smooth as possible are not implemented or started early enough. For example, there are some delays in sharing information with schools about targeted support for children, and partnerships with schools are not yet fully established.

Outdoor space

Older children engage in active games and use a range of apparatus in the indoor garden that challenges them as they use their bodies in a variety of ways. In addition to this, children have regular outings in the local area, including to the local park.
