Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The special educational needs and/or disabilities coordinator (SENDCo) has a good understanding of each child's individual needs and has plans in place to support children to make progress. Staff identify when children require additional support and refer them to external agencies if needed. The SENDCo understands the importance of working closely with these agencies and parents to support all children to develop to their full potential.

Outdoor space

Children have daily opportunities to be physically active. They practise their physical skills as they learn to run and climb in the large outdoor area. Staff encourage children to think carefully as they learn to take and manage risks as they play.

EAL / language support

Children with English as an additional language (EAL) are particularly well supported as staff use words and phrases from their home language as well as books to offer support.
