Applying for a school place if your child has an Education, Health and Care Plan
Children and young people with an Education, Health and Care Plan (or Statement of Special Education Needs) follow a separate transfer process to a new school. Please contact the SEN team on 03000 365878.
You continue to have a right to request a particular school and this will be considered alongside the information that we have about your child’s special educational needs. The information would have been provided as part of the Education, Health and Care assessment or following the review meeting. .
If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
