Questions families ask
What age range do the schools accept?
They accept pupils from age 4 to 25, depending on the school or college.
How small are the classes?
Classes typically have a maximum of six to eight pupils, with at least one qualified teacher and one teaching assistant.
Do families have to pay for a specialist school place?
No. School places are funded by the Local Authority, and pupils receive free school meals, snacks, outings, enrichment activities and an initial school uniform.
Can a child start before September?
Yes. A child does not have to wait until September, but an EHCP and the required admissions steps must be completed first.
Is there a waiting list for a school place?
No. They do not operate a waiting list, and each application is considered case by case.
Are therapists available at the school?
Yes. Onsite clinicians work with pupils and their parents or carers to agree a support plan integrated into school life.
