Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The special educational needs coordinator and manager constantly strive to obtain support from other agencies to meet the needs of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They have approached a Sure Start centre to discuss workshops for parents to provide support and advice. Children with SEND receive exceptional support and are fully included in all activities.

Outdoor space

Children make exceptional progress in their physical development. Older children confidently rode two-wheeled bikes down a slope in the garden at high speed. The inspector observed children's activities, indoors and outdoors.
