Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff have an in-depth understanding of, and take full account of, every child's individual ability and life experiences. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities benefit from precise teaching plans and intense support. Managers use additional funding well, for example, to provide additional staff to help ensure that all children can access the curriculum.

Outdoor space

Children eagerly observe ants feasting on cherries that fall from a tree in the garden. Staff help them to further develop their interests, for example, by taking the fruits indoors to look at them more closely.
