SEN Admission Information
Children with and Education Health and Care Plan
5.1 Children with identified Special Educational Needs have a significantly greater difficulty learning than their peers and/or cannot access learning without significant adaptations to the school facilities. This typically means that additional support will be required for them in order to access learning. Further information can be obtained from the SEND Code of Practice (January 2015), Special Educational Needs Assessment and Review Team (SENART) or the Special Educational Needs and Disability Information and Support Services (SENDIASS).
5.2 Admission authorities:
· Must consider applications from parents of children who have special educational needs or disability (SEND) but do not have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) on the basis of the published admissions criteria as part of the normal admissions procedures;
· Must not refuse to admit a child who has SEND but does not have an EHC Plan because they do not feel able to cater for those needs;
· Must not refuse to admit a child on the grounds that they do not have an EHC Plan;
· Must not discriminate against any child or young person who has an SEN or disability and must make reasonable adjustments as set out in the Equalities Act (2010) so that they can be admitted to the school where they do not have an EHC Plan.
5.3 Children with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) are dealt with under a different mechanism. Any child with a school named on their EHC Plan will automatically gain a place at the school named via the statementing process. Any child with an EHC Plan who is admitted to a mainstream community/voluntary controlled school will be counted against the school’s admission number.
