SEND provision

Staff and the special educational needs and/or disabilities co-ordinator (SENDCo) act promptly when they have concerns about children's development. They communicate with parents to ensure that referrals are made in a timely manner. The SENDCo and staff work with other agencies involved in children's care so that they receive consistent support. The SENDCo also uses additional funding effectively to enhance children's experiences, including making improvements to the garden so children with SEND have more opportunities to develop their physical skills in the outside area.
