Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

This in particular inspires children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and all children fully take part. Staff place a high focus on supporting children with SEND. As a result, all children are fully included and engaged. Staff work closely with parents and any professionals working with children to help understand their individual needs and devise their next steps in learning.

Outdoor space

Children thoroughly enjoy an obstacle course that staff have made, based on the children's favourite video game character. For example, children use words, such as under, over and through as they move around the obstacles.
