Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff work closely with parents and other agencies to ensure children get the support they need, including securing extra funding. Children with special educational needs catch up quickly with their peers.

Outdoor space

Children develop a love of being active in the fresh air. For example, toddlers jump excitedly as they watch the balls roll down the drainpipes, and older children develop considerable strength, balance and creativity as they build with crates and tyres. Children are often reflective as they create their artwork under the trees in the forest school area.
