KCS requires full disclosure of any SEND or medical needs at the point of registration. You must submit current specialist reports (e.g., Educational Psychologist or medical consultant) for review by the Director of Admissions and the Head of Learning Support.
Candidates may be granted concessions such as 25% extra time, use of a laptop, or rest breaks during the 11+, 13+, or 16+ entrance exams. These are only awarded if they reflect the student’s “normal way of working” and are backed by rigorous evidence.
