Lambeth's New SEND and Alternative Provision Strategy 2025 - 2030
The strategy was co-designed with young people and puts their voices and lived experiences at the heart of change. Its goal is clear: to ensure that all children and young people, especially those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), are empowered to thrive and reach their full potential from birth to adulthood.
Our involvement in the video is a reflection of our school’s ongoing dedication to inclusive education and our belief in the power of early support, meaningful collaboration, and smooth transitions. It also recognizes the efforts of our staff, pupils, and families who contribute every day to making our school a place where every child feels valued and supported.
