Admissions Criteria

Lindsworth School accepts pupils who have an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP). Places are offered if there is a vacancy and the school can meet the child’s educational needs. Referrals come from Birmingham SENAR. Admission decisions consider: (a) whether the placement is appropriate to the child’s needs; (b) compatibility with the interests of other pupils; and (c) efficient use of the Local Authority’s resources. If eligible, parents/carers are invited to an informal meeting. Pupils joining KS2 or via Secondary Transfer have two ‘taster’ days, and in-year transfers have bespoke induction packages.
