Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children who receive additional funding, particularly those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are expertly supported to reach their full potential. Additional funding is used effectively and additional support is tailored to each child's needs. The special educational needs coordinator spoke to the inspector about how they support children with SEND.

Outdoor space

Children use digital cameras to capture pictures of new things they have spotted in the garden. Indoors, the children access a wide range of resources and experiences that stimulate their interests. However, learning opportunities in the outdoor area are more limited. Resources in this area support physical development but other areas of learning are less well resourced. For example, the mud kitchen lacks challenge and the sand pit is very small. This limits opportunities for children to practise skills and problem-solve in these areas.
