We usually need to see an educational psychologist's report or, if you have one, a statement of special educational needs.

We can tell you how to find an educational psychologist if you need an assessment.

We can then say whether or not it is worth coming to see us.

All pupils are interviewed.

During the interview we would discuss how we might be able to help. We would also try to teach your child to see if our teaching methods will work for your child's particular difficulties.

If we all consider that a place may be appropriate then a short ‘trial’ attendance (typically for a week) is provided at no charge. Should a longer trial be needed, there would be a cost.

Thereafter, the decision to offer a place, or not, is taken.

Because of the special methodology of the school and the provision of the national curriculum into which it is integrated you should expect a placement be for a minimum of three years.
