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. |
