Kentish Town CofE Primary have an inclusion strategy that allows children with SEND to thrive in a mainstream school.

Good SEND practice is good practice for all children. In an inclusive setting, children gain skills in citizenship and communication. The social model of disability underlines the importance of the environment. Clearly defined classroom spaces that are predictable and familiar, robust and safe, with naturally calming colours and smells help students to excel and reduce stress for everyone.
