School Offer for SEND
The Llewellyn School is a very small, independent school for children with complex medical needs. The curriculum is child-centred, designed to accommodate individual learning styles within a total communication environment (including BSL) while providing the opportunity for each of the pupils to maximize learning to their full potential.
It has been shown that many children with SEND need a stress-free environment with few other pupils and a high adult/child ratio. We believe at The Llewellyn School that the educational, social and emotional needs of each child are best served in a small-scale environment.
The Llewellyn School accepts that this environment does not suit every SEND pupil but for those who need a bespoke curriculum and the opportunity to thrive with few external or anxiety raising distractions the school is starting to show good results for pupils.
