Maintained, special and independent schools in and around Bromley
If a child or young person has an EHC plan we will work in partnership with parents/carers to identify a school within Bromley that is able to meet their individual needs.
Most children and young people with SEN are well supported, and make good progress, in mainstream schools. When it is appropriate to place a child in a special school or specialist provision the council will seek to place a child within in its own schools.
Please see a full list of schools and colleges in Bromley. Each school is required to publish its own SEND information report which is shown as a link with each school’s directory listing.
Occasionally a pupil with SEN may be placed within a setting outside Bromley or within an independent setting. Where this is the case, the local authority would always seek to make a placement decision in line with the Secretary of State approved list of independent schools for children and young people who have SEN, under section 41 of the Children and Families Act.
This table provides details of some of the maintained, special and independent schools in and around the borough of Bromley.
Publication of this information does not constitute a recommendation and parents/carers are advised to make their own enquiries about the suitability of these settings for their child or young person.
You can also find details about schools outside of the London Borough of Bromley boundary via the government's schools finder database.
