Outcome 2 2-4
My setting believes that all children have a right to a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum accessible in a supportive structured learning environment. We aim to provide opportunities for all children including children with special educational needs to develop fully.

We commit to cooperation with parents, the L.E.A, health and social services and all other relevant outside agencies in matters relating to special educational needs and disabilities and attempt to make appropriate beneficial links.
