Admissions Criteria

As a school, we are over subscribed, this means places are very few each year. Our admissions policy explains the process of requesting a place in more detail. However, our frequently asked questions below might help you decide whether you feel we are the right school for your child. Your child's SENDCO is always a good source of advice to advise you on the suitability of Discovery to meet your child's needs.
