Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

This supports every child, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to become well-prepared for the next stage in their learning. Children who have SEND receive high-quality support. The coordinator liaises with other professionals in a timely way and devises individualised plans that focus on their specific needs. Staff understand how to successfully implement these so that every child reaches their potential.

Outdoor space

Children thrive in the exciting outdoor learning environment where they develop an array of physical skills. Children learn how to take turns as they throw, kick and catch balls, and ride on a seesaw. They practise jumping on a trampoline and crawling through tunnels and develop their coordination skills by using balance bikes.
