Admission Details

Referrals can be made by anyone associated with the student. Once they have received the student’s Statement of Needs or Education, Health and Care plan and recent multi disciplinary minutes they would advise parents or guardians to visit the school. Please call Caroline Parker, Group Referrals Manager. Tel: 01332 378840

They will arrange for a member of team to meet the student to confirm their suitability as quickly as possible. Once this has been established an offer will be made and notification of a final visit by the multi-disciplinary team.

This visit usually takes place on one day, after which a transition plan for admission is agreed. The Multi-disciplinary Team will report their findings to the Head Teacher and a report will be written reviewing their findings including current levels relating to Statemented Needs, general strategies, initial targets and any areas which the team feels needs further examination. There is no charge for this assessment.

A child doesn’t need specific qualifications to get a place. They simply need to feel confident that we have the resources and expertise to help them gain an education and reach their potential. They accept children and young people from all backgrounds, from across the UK and abroad.
