The SEND Offer and Policy is available on this website, detailing how the school meets the needs of SEND students and how this is evaluated. The SEND Aims are: to work in partnership with parents to support students in overcoming their barriers to learning; to ensure that all students have access to a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum; to provide differentiated learning opportunities appropriate to the student’s needs and abilities; to ensure the identification of students requiring SEND provision as early as possible in their school career; to ensure that students with SEND take as full a part as possible in all school activities.
Southchurch High School admission arrangements state that all transfers from Year 6 to Year 7 for residents of the Borough of Southend-on-Sea are coordinated by the School Admissions Team at Southend-on-Sea Borough Council. Applications for Year 7 are handled through the local authority, and the Secondary Admissions Booklet (with details on admissions criteria) is available from the Council. In-Year Secondary School Admissions are processed by the school; where there are more applications than places, the oversubscription criteria are applied to decide priority, and waiting lists are maintained. If a place cannot be offered, parents are advised of the reasons and may appeal via an Independent Appeal Panel. If you are moving into the Borough or changing schools, you should provide documentation (e.g., tenancy agreement) before an offer of a school place can be given. The school aims to process In-Year admissions within 7-14 school days. The Local Authority’s Fair Access Protocol may be used in some cases, and parents can contact the Fair Access Team for alternative school places if a place cannot be secured.
