Education Offer

Overview

We provide a structured stimulating environment in which all children including those with special educational needs, are valued, included and supported to reach their full potential. We provide a broad, balanced, and differentiated curriculum for all children which is extended for children with special educational needs. 

The preschool is all on one level, with doors wide enough for easy access, there is a ramp at the entrance and lift for easy access to the preschool. We have a toilet and wash area suitable for disabled person use. There are two very spacious halls which are ideal for disabled person use. Our preschool is adaptable and we can make changes to accommodate all children.  

Identifying children's needs

We use a graduated response system for identifying, assessing and responding to children’s special educational needs and ensure that they are appropriately involved at all stages taking into account their levels of ability. We ensure that parents are informed at all stages of the assessment, planning, provision and review of their children’s education.
