  • About Us

  • Shenstone School is an all-through school for children with severe or complex learning difficulties within the London Borough of Bexley. All pupils who attend Shenstone School have Education and Health Care Plans. We are one of two special schools within The Kemnal Academies Trust (TKAT). 

    Shenstone School is based across three sites: Sidcup, Crayford and our newly opened secondary school in Belvedere.  Our Secondary provision grows every year as we introduce new year 7 pupils, and by 2029-2030, Shenstone will accommodate 300 children aged 3 -19 across our three school sites.  

    Every child is an individual, and as such, we diligently work as a school team and with wider multi-agency support teams to ensure that our curriculum delivery recognises this individual support, supporting each child with their life-long learning journey.  

    Paramount to our ethos is the belief in “support for all”, which ensures that engagement with the pupils, their families, and our staff team is at the heart of all we strive to achieve. We work hard to ensure that Shenstone is a safe, happy, welcoming, and truly outstanding place where our pupils will thrive. Our school benefits from impressive facilities across all school sites, enabling us to offer a wide range of opportunities and activities to enhance learning both inside and outside the classroom. 

    Our staff are passionate about providing our students with the best learning opportunities. Working in partnership with parents and carers, we successfully foster and develop a positive attitude in our young people and support them to have opportunities that will allow them to achieve beyond their expectations. The support and guidance students receive from staff give them the confidence to learn independently and strive to achieve their most aspirational outcomes.  The school positions itself as a centre of excellence for its students, parents/carers, staff, local authorities and the wider community.
