School Description

Kingsdown School caters for pupils with severe learning difficulties and profound and multiple learning difficulties. A significant number of pupils have physical disabilities with associated learning difficulties. Nearly all pupils have communication difficulties. All pupils have a statement of special educational needs. The proportion of pupils for whom the school receives pupil premium funding is high (47%). This is additional government funding for pupils entitled to free school meals or who are looked after by the local authority. A very small number of children in the Nursery attend alternative child care provision at La Balon Rouge and Home From Home in Southend for two days per week. The premises and accommodation have been refurbished since the last inspection. There is a new swimming pool, soft play area, dark room and extensive outdoor play equipment. The number of pupils on roll has greatly increased and the school is oversubscribed.
