Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress in their learning. Leaders and managers support staff well with training and professional development, and recent courses have helped all staff to plan a well-sequenced curriculum with adaptations for different ages, abilities, and needs.
Outdoor space
Older children talk about mixing colours as they paint "ghost" pictures outdoors. They work out that adding white paint to the orange and green paints lightens the colour. Children go on outings to local parks to develop their physical skills.
