How well do the children with SEND do at ?
Kyson is very successful at ensuring that children with SEND leave Year 6…
feeling confident and self
assured!
with a high self esteem about their place in the world
aware of their own needs and
strategies that will help them learn
reading, writing and able to use maths at the expected level or occasionally just below, in addition to enjoying a balanced, rich, well rounded curriculum with fun opportunities,

How will my child be supported on arrival in Reception and when leaving
