Admissions
ADMISSIONS PROCEDURE
The admissions procedure is simple with a few clear stages. We have registration for 96 students aged 7-25. We would consider all referrals but maintain we are a school for children with SEMH needs and hold this in mind at all times when considering referrals.
Referral and Assessment Pathway
Stage 1
- School receives a referral in writing with the students EHCP plan and other relevant documentation
- The school will have an initial discussion on whether they can meet the student's needs. This may involve consultation with the team currently working with the student
- Families may not be involved at this point
Stage 2
- If the school feels they can meet the student's needs and an appropriate placement is available, the school will seek to contact the family and arrange a meeting with the student, family and/or other professionals
- The aim of this meeting is to consider the potential placement, support required and gather any other information required to evaluate the likely success of the placement
Stage 3
- If positive, we will arrange for the student to visit the school and following this, make an offer of placement to the placing Local Authority or person offering the funding band and a transition pathway, that would support the success of the placement
Stage 4
- Once an offer has been made, it is up to the Local Authority and the family to accept the offer
Stage 5
- Once agreed, the transition pathway is organised and actioned
