SEND SUPPORT
They have a whole school approach to inclusion which supports all learners engaging in activities together. Any barriers to learning or engagement are reviewed with discussions on what can be done to overcome these. We make reasonable adjustments so that learners can join in with activities regardless of their needs.

Kendrick offers a rich and varied programme of extra-curricular activities. The school encourages all students to participate in at least one activity during the school year and many choose to involve themselves in several.

A programme of the extra-curricular activities will be made available to all tutor groups early in the autumn term. The main extra-curricular activities are PE and Music.
