Admission Details

Parents, families and professionals are welcome to visit the school. To arrange a visit please contact on 01256 884600 or email [email protected]. 

Pupil referrals are made by local authorities. They will send all the relevant information such as EHCP, recent review reports to us for consideration. This is then submitted to the admissions panel to make sure the ‘essential criteria for admission’ (please see below) are met.  

If these criteria are met, and they have a vacancy, they will then arrange to do an assessment.  The assessments will be face-to-face (an offer cannot be made without a face-to-face assessment). If your child is based overseas, they would expect that they will be brought to the UK for the assessment.  

If they believe they can meet your child’s educational, social, medical, and therapeutic needs, they will make an informal offer. If you and your local authority wish to accept this informal offer then they will send a formal contractual letter to the referring officer. This will outline costs and the level of provision. Once the offer is accepted in writing they will agree a start date and arrange transition visits.
