The Sensory Support Service enables pupils with sensory impairment to have the best possible access to the Curriculum and the life of their school, whilst meeting needs which are specific to their sensory impairment.
Eligibility
Pupils with hearing and visual difficulties:
- living in Bromley and attending a Bromley school receive support from Bromley’s Sensory Support Team;
- living outside the Borough of Bromley, but attending a Bromley school, can receive support from Bromley’s Sensory Support Team;
