Enrolment
We cater for pupils aged 4-18 years with a diagnosis of ASD and where it is recommended that the child would benefit from placement in a special school for children with Autism. We currently have maximum enrolment of 30 pupils. As places become available as one pupil leaves or graduates, we currently operate a pre-enrolment waiting list.
Please find below our pre-enrolment form. Please return this form to the school with copies of your son/daughter’s most recent psychology report, confirming a diagnosis of ASD (as per the DSM-IV criteria) and a recommendation for ASD specific special school. Applications will be dated on the date they are received by the school and confirmation email sent.
This report should be no more than 2 years old. At the point of offer, the updated report must confirm the need for an ASD specific special school (as opposed to mainstream education or a mainstream school with an ASD unit). Enrolment may be refused if this criteria is not specified.
As it is a requirement of our enrolment policy, we cannot place a child's name on the list until the report has been received. Placing a child's name on the list does not imply or guarantee an enrolment.
Completed pre-enrolment forms and reports should be marked "Pre-Enrolment" and returned to
