Kensworth is a fully inclusive school. We firmly believe  that all children can make great individual progress and do so in a supportive,  happy community. We  work  closely with families and actively encourage parents and carers to come into school to meet with class teachers and the SENCo. We hold 'My Plan' meetings termly, when small achievable targets are set with you and your child.  But our open door policy means we can meet more regularly if your child's needs are greater. 

Central Bedfordshire Local Offer – SEND Support

The Central Bedfordshire Local Offer is a comprehensive online resource for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), as well as their families and professionals.

It provides clear information about the services and support available locally, including:

• Education, health, and social care
• Early years support
• Preparing for adulthood and employment
• Leisure activities and community groups
• Travel and transport options
• Emotional wellbeing and mental health resources

The Local Offer helps families understand what they can expect from local agencies and how to access support. It includes guidance on Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plans, assessment processes, and parent/carer forums.

Support for families

If you have a concern, or would just like to chat to someone regarding your child's needs, please contact your child's class teacher or Miss Bailey to arrange this, using the office email address:

Intervention groups 

At our school, being part of a group beyond the classroom is a valued part of school life.
We aim to enrich every child’s learning experience by offering opportunities that extend and deepen their understanding. Through group activities, clubs, and enrichment sessions, we strive to challenge and support all learners, helping them to grow both academically and personally.
