Our INTENT within both of our Nursery Schools is to include everyone. We aim to do this by ensuring all children experience a fully accessible environment, curriculum and quality of experience by seeking to remove barriers to learning and provide highly focused Quality First Learning Experiences for all of our pupils. This is in accordance with support and advice from external partners such as the Local Authority, specialist SEN support teams, Medical Professionals and Educational Psychologists where appropriate.
