Headteacher Mrs Laura Abbott emphasizes Wrotham School’s COURSE values—Character, Opportunity, Understanding, Respect, Success and Excellence. She describes the school as inclusive and nurturing, committed to personalised learning, high expectations, and developing confident, compassionate young people who are prepared to shape their own journey and make a positive difference in society.
The SEN department provides inclusive mainstream teaching with additional support as needed, and works with external services. The department includes an Inclusion Team Lead (SENCO KS3), SENCO KS4, Assistant SENCO, and Teaching Assistants. It collaborates with Language and Learning Support Service, Educational Psychology Service, ASD Support Specialist, Speech and Language Therapy Service, CAHMS, and the school’s pastoral teams. The SENCO has responsibility for Exam Access Arrangements testing, catch-up reading and numeracy. All teachers are considered teachers of SEN, and the SEN Information Report, SEN Policy, and related documents are updated regularly.
