Admissions are multi-stage: Stage 1 EHCP application and consultation; Stage 2 two half-day assessment dates with one-to-one activity, lessons and a lunch break; Stage 3 Headteacher feedback report within 48 hours following assessment, which may offer placement or provide reasons why it may not be in the child’s best interest; the report goes to the local authority case officer, and there is an appeal process if not satisfied; contact admissions-team at [email protected] for bookings and information.
