Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are extremely well supported by staff. Staff work closely with parents and a range of professionals to ensure that individual children's needs are identified and supported, and this helps them make excellent progress from their starting points. Leaders use additional funding creatively to help children to experience targeted learning, such as forest-school sessions that enhance their sensory processing skills. Children with SEND flourish in all areas of their development.
Outdoor space
Children access a range of materials in the indoor and outdoor space. They use a hosepipe to put water into a tray that they excitedly jump and splash in. They ride bicycles outside and fill containers with mud and sand. Children develop their small and large muscles and movement skills.
