Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children who need additional support or with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported. Staff work effectively with external professionals, including nutritionists and speech and language therapists. They follow agreed plans closely to provide targeted support.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy exploring the spacious outdoor area. They benefit from opportunities to take appropriate risks, such as climbing trees. However, the outdoor provision is not used effectively throughout the day. As a result, not all children, particularly those who prefer to learn outdoors, remain fully engaged in purposeful learning.
