Early Years

Children, particularly in their Early Years develop at different rates and can present with a learning profile that is individual. Most children will make progress in a setting which has high quality ordinarily available provision. Some children, however, require support that is ‘additional to’ or ‘different from’ what might be ordinarily provided due to Special Educational Need or Disability. Children may present with additional needs that can be age/ stage related and may change over time.
