Main Findings from Local SEND Inspection
Admissions Arrangements for SEND Pupils
Pupils with a Statement of Special Educational Needs or Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan
The admissions of pupils with a Statement of Special Educational Needs or with an EHC Plan are dealt with by a completely separate procedure.
The procedure is integral to the making and maintaining of statements and EHC plans by the pupil’s home local authority.
Details of this separate procedure are set out in the SEND code of practice. Pupils with a statement or EHC plan naming the school will be admitted without reference to the standard criteria.
