Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff provide an ambitious curriculum for all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring they all make good individual progress. Staff make good use of funding to provide tailored support and resources for children that need extra help to recognise and regulate their emotions. The special educational needs coordinator spoke to the inspector about how they support children with SEND.

Outdoor space

The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning. Children learn about the world around them, for example, they visit the local woods.
