Our admissions policy explains the process of requesting a place at our school in more detail. However, our frequently asked questions below might help you decide whether you feel we are the right school for your child.

There may be many reasons that we refuse a place for your child including; suitability, peer group, academic attainment, curriculum and use of resources, this is always shared with the placing local authority SEND team who can advise you about this.
