Richard Cobden School adopts a ‘whole school approach’ to SEND. All staff work to ensure inclusion of all pupils. Most pupils are supported by high-quality universal teaching; some require targeted short-term interventions to close gaps; a small minority require more intensive, individualised programmes. The Local Offer provides detailed information and Camden Local Authority services (e.g., Educational Psychologists, CAMHS, PLSS) may be involved. The SENCo coordinates support and reviews progress with parents.
Richard Cobden is a two-form entry school with a nursery (52 spaces). Reception places are accessed via a Camden Admissions form; children born between 1 September and 31 August start in the September of the year they turn 5. To apply for a Nursery or other year groups, contact the school office. Full details are in the Admissions Policy.
