Robust links with external support agencies mean interventions for children with SEND are swift and expert.

Outdoor space

Children access the outdoor area freely, which helps them enjoy fresh air and develop physical skills. They play happily among their friends, both inside and in the outdoor areas, with suitable resources provided to support development in all areas of learning.
