Inspector highlights
Inclusion & environment
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) benefit from extremely effective and intensive support, including one-to-one therapy to develop their language, physical and personal skills. Children, including those with SEND and those who receive funding, make accelerated progress from their starting points in learning.
Staff carefully design the garden to promote children's physical health and well-being. Children love being outdoors; they develop strong muscles as they dig in sand, operate a water pump and build with heavy wooden blocks. They learn to consider risks, as they climb and balance on the large apparatus.
