The manager spoke to the inspector about how they support children with SEND. Staff are highly successful at taking intelligent and swift action to support children who encounter difficulties.

They delight in making their own decisions and solving problems in their construction play, such as when they decide where to join pipes together to enable the water they scoop and pour down them to trickle 'downhill'. Children learn the rules for their forest-school activities, such as for safe sitting around the fire pit. ## Google Reviews of Sudbrook School 5.0 (2 Google reviews) Toby Powell-Blyth 7 years ago Sudbrook is a lovely school, the children are loved and taught and come out with a good background. There is a great mix of physical and mental work coupled with healthy amounts of play. Honestly we could have done with having longer hours but if that's the worst problem then they are doing very very well. Highly recommended for your little ones. Not recommended as a sixth form college :) ......................
