Admission Details

They have a formal admissions procedure to ensure that they are able to meet a child’s needs, so that they can make rapid progress in education and develop socially and emotionally at our school.

Admissions team: The first step of the process is for a referral to be made by the local authority to school admissions team. The referral will usually include the child or young person’s Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The admissions team will then identify if they can meet needs and, if so, will liaise with the local authority and parents or carers to organise a visit to the school.

Visit them: During the visit, they will provide a tour of the school and the young person and their parents or carers will meet with the Head Teacher. Following a successful school visit, an offer letter will be sent to the local authority with a suggested start date. Once the offer of a place has been accepted, parents or carers will be advised and transition can begin. Visits are welcomed from parents, carers and professionals. Please contact the school directly if you would like to arrange a visit.
