Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive exceptional care and support. Staff work in partnership with other agencies to enhance outcomes for children, seek advice and provide unique opportunities, such as facilitating one-to-one support and using sign language to enhance communication. Managers go above and beyond to ensure that children with SEND can access the education that they deserve and to bridge the gap between them and their peers.
Outdoor space
Children discover caterpillars that drop down from the trees in the stimulating outdoor learning environment. Staff conduct thorough risk assessments of the indoor and outdoor environments to help to keep children safe from harm. Children learn how to take and manage risks in an age-appropriate way.
