Admissions Criteria

Pupils are referred by the Local Authority. The Local Authority may refer students who have had one or more permanent exclusions; cannot have their needs met by their current school (often a mainstream school); or have moved into the area and need a specialist provision. For more information please contact Inspire Academy via [email protected]. Final naming in an EHCP rests with the Local Authority.
