To improve

- “However, the small steps in knowledge and skills needed to support pupils with SEND to access the curriculum are not always clear for all pupils.”
- “However, opportunities to develop children’s skills as they play are sometimes missed because the knowledge and vocabulary are not always clear in all areas of learning.”
