How can I apply for a place at your school?

Pupils are referred to our school via District SEND Assessment teams and will have an Education Health and Care Plan in which our school has been named.  Following this you may  be asked to arrange a visit to view our school. If you accept the place, we meet with you to complete our school admission pack.

Consent for taking images or videos of a child for use in school is discussed as part of our admission meeting. Separate consent will be sought for events or trips (in or out of school) and for use on our website, publications or by external agencies. Due to the nature of many of our looked after children, we will only ever use images and videos in school. If you have any questions, please contact the school.

Can I have a copy of the policy/information on your website? 

Please contact the school should you require a paper copy of one of our policies, website pages or any information on our website. Copies are provided free of charge.
