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 Mrs O Bates (SENDco main school). 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.

CAMHS
​Bedfordshire CAMHs are launching a podcast called ‘CAMHs Talk’.  This is a fortnightly podcast that is being produced by CAMHs's young people and staff.  The podcast is user led and will include topics such as who works here, interviews with staff and user participation.  You can subscribe to the podcast through all of the main streaming channels, including Spotify and iTunes. 
​CAMHs Talk also has a twitter account called @CAMHsTalk.com.


Intervention groups 
At Kensworth it is  part of school life to be part of a group outside of the normal classroom day.  We strive to extend and  stretch all children's learning and development to achieve a greater depth of understanding. 

For example small group work can be:
Fine motor (hand writing)
Social skills games group
Computing  club
5 minute daily keep up phonics (RWI)
More able maths
More able  English
Keep up maths games
Keep up  writing
Brain Biscuit club (after school for invited children)

A note is sent home each term informing parents/ carers if their child is to be part of a group.  The groups are moved around the school day  each half term.
If you would like more  details please  speak to your child's class teacher. 
Luton and Bedfordshire’s Neuro Developmental (NDD) Early Intervention, Support and Assessment Pathway
"As a parent, it can be difficult to know when you should be worried about your child’s development. It can also be hard to know what to try and for how long before asking for advice and support from the professionals. Once you have decided that your child may need some specialist assessment or support it can then be a challenge to know how to get that support."

Luton and Bedfordshire's community health services and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) have been working together to create a neurodevelopmental disorder assessment pathway.

Working with partners from local charities, community services and parents, they have created a pathway of early intervention and support. Please take a look at the above link.

Please also see the following information for parents/carers from Autism Bedfordshire:
​Autism Bedfordshire’s Children’s Services guide

If you have a concern, or would just like to chat to someone regarding your child's needs, Mrs Cowell will be holding a 'drop in' via Zoom to discuss and share any concerns, worries or successes that you may have experienced.
