Questions parents ask
How many mainstream schools are there in Medway?
Medway has 77 state mainstream schools (65 primary and 12 secondary). In January 2026, at its primary schools, 16% of pupils got SEN support and 3.9% had an EHC plan (England: 15.4% and 4.1%); at its secondary schools, 12.2% of pupils got SEN support and 2.7% had an EHC plan (England: 14.1% and 3.5%).
Which mainstream schools in Medway have an SEN unit or resourced provision?
All Faiths Children's Academy, Brompton Academy, Chatham Grammar, Delce Academy, Elaine Primary School, Hoo St Werburgh Primary School and the Marlborough, Leigh Academy Hundred of Hoo, Leigh Academy Rainham, Leigh Academy Strood, Riverside Primary School, The Robert Napier School and The Thomas Aveling School, and 3 more. They are listed with the area’s special schools.
How do I get SEN support at a mainstream school?
Talk to the class teacher and the school’s SENCO (special educational needs co-ordinator). Your child doesn’t need a diagnosis. If they need more help than the school can usually give, you or the school can ask Medway council for an EHC needs assessment.
What do the figures mean?
SEN support is help in school without an EHC plan; an EHC plan is a legal plan from the council for children who need more. The figures show how many children a school supports, not how well, so talk to the SENCO and read the school’s SEN information report.
