Admissions Criteria

Piper Hill is a special high school for 11–19 year olds. All pupils must have a Statement of Special Educational Needs or an Education, Health and Care Plan naming the school. The school can only accept referrals from Local Authorities (LAs); parents should ask their LA to name Piper Hill in the child’s EHCP. The final decision rests with the LA. The school cannot proceed to the admissions stage without LA support and private funding of places is not offered. Parents may visit, but admissions processing is contingent on LA involvement and LA decisions.
