Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The provision in place for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is good. Additional funding and support plans are used effectively to provide children with personalised learning, and leaders work with parents and external professionals to make referrals and review children's development.

Outdoor space

Pre-school children chat and collaborate with their friends outdoors as they transport natural materials and manipulate tools in the mud kitchen to cook lunch for everyone. Older children vigorously climb and dig outdoors, mastering a wide range of skills in their physical development.
