Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The skilled special educational needs coordinator is proactive in making sure children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are particularly well supported. They work closely with other professionals to help children to achieve their goals.

Outdoor space

Staff make good use of the outdoor environment. Children learn about nature through watching the birds using the birdhouse and rearing their chicks. Children develop their physical skills as they climb on the pirate ship, balance on steps, play running games, and build structures with guttering and wood.
