Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Children who have identified special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive effective support. Leaders establish strong working relationships with other agencies, including through securing additional funding and completion of assessments. Staff deliver targeted support that meets children's individual needs successfully, ensuring that children with SEND are supported to close gaps in their learning and that they and their families receive an effective transition to school.
Outdoor space
The outdoor area is not organised well enough to build on what children learn indoors. This can lead to too many choices and distractions during free play, which sometimes affects children's behaviour and disrupts others' learning. Some older children struggle to manage their behaviour during free play, especially outside.
