Pupils at this school will have had a full assessment of their special educational needs and will have an EHC plan. Some pupils come to the school at four or five years of age and this will be their first school. Others come after a period in mainstream school.
Once a referral has been made we will read all the papers and arrange to see the child, probably at his or her current setting. Then we will inform the child’s local authority whether or not we think we can meet the child’s needs.
Entry arrangements are flexible and pupils can join us at any time in the school year once a placement has been agreed. However, places can be scarce at Alexandra and we apologise to parents who want their child to come here but who find the school is full.
