Inspection #10239287 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50187823) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision The curriculum is ambitious for all, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff know children's needs very well, and they plan a curriculum that helps to close gaps in knowledge. Children with SEND first learn to listen, then apply their learning to the concept of following rules in woodwork. Outdoor space Children are highly skilled in their physical development, safely clambering, climbing, and manoeuvring through the environments. The forest school ethos is used to either build on children's outdoor learning experiences from home or provide them with the opportunity to gain experience of learning outside.
