In Croydon, all mainstream schools are expected to be inclusive and provide support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This means they must make sure that every child, no matter their needs, has the opportunity to learn, feel included, and succeed.
Mainstream schools welcome children with a wide range of needs - from speech and language difficulties to autism, physical disabilities, and learning differences. Schools work in partnership with families to understand each child and put the right support in place.
