The school takes a positive and professional whole-school approach to pupils with SEND.
To ensure the needs of pupils with SEND are addressed, the SENCO will:
Identify and assess pupils with SEND, and where necessary, refer for further assessment
by other professionals such as Educational Psychologists, Specialist Teachers and Therapists;
Develop and monitor support measures where a need is identified;
Develop and update the SEND Register and ensure that these are circulated amongst teaching staff;
Work in close liaison with teaching staff to ensure confidential communication on learning
needs and progress of pupils;
Teach pupils according to their specific needs, recognising their particular strengths and
learning needs to promote achievement of their academic potential;
Communicate effectively with parents/guardians on the learning needs of pupils and provide an Individual Education Plan for those pupils on the SEND Register and ensure
that these are circulated to the staff of specific pupils; and
Collate evidence to support applications for additional funding and access arrangements
in examinations.
Each year we are able to award a number of scholarships to pupils who demonstrate exceptional potential. Designed to recognise and reward excellence, we attract some of the best candidates in London. Scholarships can be awarded for entry to Year 3, 4 or 5, depending on which Scholarship your child is applying for.
The application and tasks are designed to enable us to see each child’s potential for creativity, talent and innovation and the atmosphere will be relaxed and friendly. References from the child’s current school will be required.
All Scholarships are awarded solely on merit and each scholarship pupil is awarded with a fee remission. Successful candidates will be informed in writing in January.
All-Rounder Scholarship
Prince’s Gardens has an engaging and active curriculum which inspires a love of learning, far beyond the taught curriculum. Using London as our classroom, and with some of the world’s greatest museums on our doorstep, Prince’s Gardens is a fantastic backdrop for cultivating inspiration and developing independent thinking skills and enquiring minds.
The outstanding and engaging curriculum at Prince’s Gardens enables talent to develop and to shine. We are keen to offer our All-Rounder scholarship to applicants wishing to enter the school in Years 3 or 4. Pupils who demonstrate academic excellence as well as a talent in art, drama, music, sport, STEM or languages are invited to complete the scholarship assessments in January.

Music Scholarship
Prince’s Gardens has an outstanding music department with close ties to the Royal College of Music. All pupils are introduced to an exciting range of instruments and musical styles during class music lessons.
We are delighted to offer music scholarships to children keen to join the school in Year 4 or 5 who show excellent potential and commitment in music. Scholarships are awarded by the Headmistress, following an audition with the Head of Music.
