Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are extremely well supported. Leaders are knowledgeable and skilled in the early identification of children with SEND. They promptly implement strategies to support children and use extra funding to target gaps in development. Staff use sign language, visual prompts and one-to-one sessions to support children's learning.

Outdoor space

Children show high levels of physical proficiency. Staff carefully plan outdoor opportunities to ensure children develop their physical skills. As a result, all children show excellent strength, coordination and control. Children make the most of woodland areas to climb, balance and dig. Toddlers enjoy pedalling tricycles around obstacles.

Lovely school and very friendly staff. Teachers always have time to talk with you about your child progress and concerns about children development are very fast solving and staff is very helpful to help children archive their goals. Supporting with SEN as well.
