Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff show dedication and commitment to supporting each child, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), in order to achieve their full potential. Leaders use additional funding to provide specialist support, which includes a one-to-one support assistant for children who are at risk of falling behind and also for children with SEND.

Outdoor space

Children collect their own coats and put on wellington boots before going out to play in the garden. They know that boots must not be worn inside and remove them without any prompt, telling others to do the same.

EAL / language support

Leaders ensure that the curriculum is inclusive for children who speak English as an additional language. For example, they gather information about other cultures and languages and use this information to enhance children's existing knowledge about their individual identity and background.
