It lists the SEND Team (SEND Faculty Administrator, SENCo, Learning Support Centre Manager, Assistant SENDCo, Assistant Headteacher for Inclusion) and external agencies (e.g., Speech and Language Therapist, Educational Psychologist, CAMHs, LBTH Disability Teams, Support for Learning Service, School Nurse, Counselling). It also covers transition planning, parental involvement, and safe zones for vulnerable students, health and wellbeing coordination, staff training, and inclusive trip planning.

Oversubscription criteria are described with banding (quarter of places per band) and priority given in descending order: (1) children with a statement naming the school (or looked after/previously looked after, adopted), (2) pupils with strong medical or social reasons, (3) pupils living nearest to the school who are the first born in single-sex schools or eldest in mixed schools, (4) pupils with a brother or sister at the school, (5) pupils living nearest to the school.
