Homes for Ukraine – Additional Support Request Form (2023-24)
To be eligible for additional support, students must live and attend a school within Bromley and have arrived under the Homes For Ukraine visa scheme. We encourage applications from schools that have identified pupil needs that are above reasonable adjustments, and linked with school community cohesion and inclusion of our Ukrainian guests.

- the C/YP has identified health needs (including physical and/or mental health needs) which currently prevent them from accessing education in their regular school/setting
