Admissions Criteria

Admissions are via Local Authority referral. A Local Authority panel reviews reports from professionals (Educational Psychologists, Advisory Skills Teachers, Health Professionals, Social Services). Some pupils may already have a Statement of SEN or an EHCP; others will be assessed for an EHCP after joining Bettridge. After a referral, staff contact parents to arrange a visit. The Headteacher is available to meet with parents before a placement is requested. For more information, contact the school.
