Admission Details

High Grange School considers referrals on a first-come, first-served basis from all cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds and does not discriminate on any of these grounds. The purpose of the school’s assessment process is to determine and clarify the needs of the individual student with a view to evaluating whether these can be met by High Grange’s educational approach and environment. An assessment for admission considers each prospective student’s:

– Education and performance levelsCommunication and sensory needs
– Behavioural and emotional responses
– Self-help and independence skills
– Emotional wellbeing and mental health needs
– Adaptability and response to the school’s approach, interventions and environments
– Impact on the existing peer groups

This initial assessment process forms the baseline against which progress will be measured at regular intervals. The assessment information informs the student’s initial Individualised Learning Plan which includes a detailed programme designed to enable each student to work towards specific, meaningful and attainable goals. To begin the assessment for admission for students aged 5 – 19 which includes a potential year 14 placement, the process they will request up-to-date referral papers, including the student’s Statement of Special Educational Needs (or Education, Health and Care plan), a history of the student’s education and any assessment reports that have been completed to determine his or her needs. This information will be considered with reference to High Grange School’s admissions criteria.
