Curriculum
'Children benefit from a very well-thought-out curriculum that reflects all areas of learning. Staff plan interesting activities and provide appropriate next steps to build on what children already know and can do.'

Our purpose – what motivates us?
REALITY
One gets more than is needed whilst the other gets less than is needed. This a huge disparity is created.
EQUALITY
The assumption is that everyone benefits from the same supports. This is equal treatment
EQUITY
Everyone gets the support they need (this is the concept of "affirmative action") thus producing equality.
JUSTICE
All three can see without supports or accommodation because the cause(s) of the inequality was addressed. The systematic barrier has been removed.
Equality, equity, inclusivity and the whole person
Values – what guides our work?
- Know the individual well
- Happiness & achievement
- Character for living and learning

How do we know our impact?
We ask ourselves 5 key questions
- Do you know me?
- Do you hear me?
- Can I trust you?
- Is this place fair for me?
- Do you let me fly?
