Key information and contacts
Note for parent carers in the process of assessment for an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP):
The letter you receive on offer day only refers to applications for school places through the main admissions process. It does not consider what is happening for pupils:
- being assessed for an EHCP, or those
- with a plan that has not yet been finalised
Applications via the main admission process have only been ranked against respective school oversubscription admission criteria.
Where it has been agreed an EHCP is necessary for your child, the SEND Team will consult with you regarding your preferred school. Once the plan is finalised, a school will be named on the EHCP. This decision would override any offer made via the main admissions process. Parent carers cannot choose to take up any previous offer that is not named in the EHCP.
