Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

At times, the management team and staff do not monitor and assess children's progress as closely as possible, which means that any interventions that may be needed are not identified and actioned in a timely manner.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy developing their physical skills through their play, stretching, climbing and sliding on the pirate ship climbing frame or splashing in puddles. They learn to control their body movements, running, taking giant leaps, walking backwards or on tip toe. Staff have replaced outdoor play equipment with a sturdier climbing frame and slide to help keep children safe. Children develop coordination skills by pouring water along guttering outdoors.
