Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Sometimes, targeted next steps are not precise enough for some children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Because of this, the support provided is not always effective enough to ensure rapid progress for all children. Staff spoke to the inspector about how they support children with SEND.

Outdoor space

The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning. The inspector and the deputy manager carried out a joint observation during an outdoor learning activity.
