Kingston and Richmond have a wide range of excellent provision to meet children and young people's special educational needs. However, you can request a school or college that is not within your home borough. If you decide to do this we will discuss this with you and will let you know what options may be available both within and outside of your borough. Below are links to details of schools and colleges outside of the area that pupils with Education, Health and Care plans from Kingston and Richmond attend.
These schools include mainstream schools, mainstream schools with special provision, special schools and will be a mix of maintained schools, independent schools and day and residential provision. Due to data protection reasons we do not give an indication of the needs of individual pupils from the local area attending each school and have only listed schools/institutions that have 5 or more pupils funded by either Richmond or Kingston in attendance.
