Prospective students are usually referred to us from the Local Education Authority; we receive their Statement of Special Educational Needs and relevant information about them. If, having read the Statement, we believe we may be able to meet their needs, we request an interview with the child and his/her parent or guardian. We then arrange for the student to attend school for at least one half day. After this we inform the Local Education Authority as to whether we believe we can meet the child’s needs or not. When all these criteria have been met we will then agree a start date with the Local Education Authority.
Referrals directly from Social Services and Parents are also considered, and we do also consider students who have not yet been statemented.
