Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with possible barriers to learning, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are typically identified by the leaders and staff. Staff work closely with parents to put effective plans and measures in place. Leaders and staff are beginning to work with other professionals, such as speech and language therapists, to ensure that the most appropriate interventions are in place for each child when appropriate. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive a targeted approach to their barriers to learning. Staff regularly reflect on the effectiveness of these approaches to help ensure that all children make at least good rates of progress.

Outdoor space

Outside, the older children have lots of room to explore and play. Children play harmoniously inside and out. They happily share resources and take turns with equipment, such as pipettes in chalk and water during a colour-mixing activity.
