Admissions
A clear process for a decision that matters.
Admission to KSS is not based on diagnosis or an empty seat alone. We need to understand how the child learns, the support they require and whether the school can meet those needs consistently and safely.

Who may enquire
The child comes before the label
KSS considers children who need a smaller, more structured school environment, including profiles such as autism, ADHD, GDD, dyslexia and other learning, communication, regulation or daily living support needs.
