At Thamesmead School we strive to help all students maximise their potential. We recognise that some students will require extra and additional support in order to achieve this. Each student regardless of their ability is entitled to a broad and balanced curriculum, which is relevant to their educational needs. As a fully inclusive school it is our aim that all students have their needs met within a caring and supportive environment.
School Offer & SEND Policy and Information Report
The questions relating to the School Offer for students with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) have been developed in co-production with parent carers and young people and ask the sorts of questions to which they want to know the answers.
The information provided in the link below will help show how children and young people with SEND are supported at Thamesmead.

Elevate Life
Elevate Life has been created to support teens who find school difficult. Parents can also find it difficult to find the support they need, especially during secondary schooling when parents’ coffee mornings are few and far between and inaccessible altogether by working parents.
Free workshops are held across the local area to promote wellness and focus on reducing anxiety through gamification, mindfulness, other therapeutic techniques and study skills. A range of modules are also available to help develop the person so they are well-prepared for adult life.
