Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The special educational needs coordinator ensures that children who need it get the right help, swiftly. Staff work closely with other professionals, such as the local authority, speech and language therapists and local nurseries. This ensures that children get the right support and make the best possible progress.

Outdoor space

Children benefit from daily opportunities to play outdoors. Older children practise their physical skills as they carefully balance along a tyre wall and ride balance bikes. Toddlers take part in an exercise session, and children use small spades to search for carrots in their garden.

Fantastic school, my daughter and love it here. The teachers are all friendly, nothing is ever too much trouble. They are easy to speak too should you have any questions or concerns. It's always immaculate and clean. Only downside and its nothing to do with the school but it's a pain. There is no public transport nearby so if you don't live close by and don't drive then you're for long walk twice a day.
