Provision for pupils with disabilities is also covered by the Equal Opportunities (Education) Policy.
The SEND Code of Practice (2014) states that SEN support should include planning and preparation for the transitions between phases of education. New applicants to Sydenham High are asked to submit any information such as records of previous learning support, copies of assessments undertaken by previous schools, or reports from educational psychologists. If appropriate, the Head of Learning Support may liaise with the previous school to ensure that all reasonable adjustments are made.
For girls joining in year 7, we offer both academic scholarships and scholarships in Art, Drama, Music and Sport.
Sydenham High School offers a number of bursary awards which are designed to enable girls whose parents might not be able to afford the full fees to attend the school. The award of a bursary is based on financial circumstances and the candidate’s performance in the entrance assessments.
At Sydenham High academic excellence goes hand in hand with pastoral excellence. Creating an aspirational environment for our pupils is one of our foremost aims and the provision of a first-class education is paramount. As a high achieving school, we strive to ensure that every girl reaches, or exceeds, her potential by offering exceptional learning opportunities which harness individual strengths.
Self-belief and happiness, alongside a ‘can do’ approach to every aspect of school life, enable our girls to thrive and succeed and they leave us equipped with the skills and confidence to prosper in their future lives. We believe our pupils deserve the highest standards of classroom practice, as well as exciting, challenging and enriching co-curricular opportunities, in an inspirational environment where they can be themselves and learn to be independent, resilient and confident.
Girls at Sydenham High are ambitious and open minded and possess an inner strength and necessary self belief to outstrip all expectations. They are also well rounded, happy, down to earth, and much more besides.
Above all, our school is simply bursting with warmth, creativity, talent and excellence in all that we do.
