How they support every child

SEND provision

Ongoing assessments are diligently monitored by leaders to establish any aspects of learning that require a higher level of focus. Additional funding is successfully used to meet individual children's developmental needs.

Outdoor space

Babies develop strength and balance as they crawl through tunnels and lie on inflated balloons, carefully lifting one foot off the ground. Younger children learn to assess risk as they crawl up ramps and climb in and out of tyres, building on their physical confidence.
