How they support every child

Outdoor space

Children enjoy spending time outdoors. They play ring games and show excellent coordination skills while using climbing apparatus. Children develop excellent physical endurance and are keen to take on new challenges, such as jumping.

EAL / language support

Overall, children who speak English as an additional language are supported well. However, leaders do not ensure that staff follow a consistent approach to the strategies that help to support children to gain a good command of English. This means that some children who speak English as additional language do not consistently receive high levels of support.
