Admissions

Our formal admissions process ensures we can meet each child’s needs, supporting their academic, social, and emotional growth.

Our admissions procedure

The first step is for the local authority to make a consultation to our school Admissions Team. The referral will include the child or young person’s Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP).

Our team will make an initial assessment by reviewing paperwork about your child. If appropriate, we will invite you and your child to visit our school to further inform our decision about whether we can meet needs.

During the visit, we will provide a tour of our school and you and your child will have the opportunity to meet 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, you will be advised, and transition can begin. 

The best outcomes

For us, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing breakthrough moments. Everything we do, from admissions to ongoing support, is built around achieving the best outcomes for you and your family.

From the moment you begin your journey with us, we will do everything we can to help and share our expertise with you.

Education, Health and Care Plans

Usually, for children and young people to attend one of our schools they will need to have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). 

An EHCP is for children and young people up to the age of 25 who need additional support. It sets out any additional needs and any support required to meet those needs.  

Our parents often tell us that it is a process full of obstacles, which is why we have developed an Understanding EHCP Support Pack.
