Admissions Criteria

Admissions to Samuel Laycock School are determined by Tameside Local Authority and not by the school. Every pupil has an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) with a named LA SEND caseworker. The LA considers the pupil’s needs, the type of provision the school can offer, the number of places available, and whether there are alternative settings that may also meet the pupil’s needs. Demand for places is very high, so applications should be submitted early, with a September admission date often targeted. For advice, contact the school.
