Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders and staff create a deeply inclusive culture where every child is valued and understood as an individual. Staff know children exceptionally well and identify emerging needs swiftly through daily professional discussions. They work closely with parents and external services, including the hearing impairment team, portage and preschool support and health visitors, maintaining strong professional relationships. Leaders use their own "road to achievement" document to effectively track children's progress over time and demonstrate impact clearly, breaking learning into small, achievable steps and adjusting targets quickly to meet each child's individual needs.
