Children with SEND are well supported and make good progress. Staff implement individual educational plans that help to close gaps in learning, using advice from external professionals effectively. The special educational needs coordinator uses her experience and knowledge to act quickly and puts appropriate support in place. Outdoor space Learning outside is not always as effective.
