ALP Nuneaton

1. An EHC plan

   Places at schools like this usually come through an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan. If your child doesn’t have one yet, you can ask the council for an assessment yourself.

2. Visit and ask questions

   See whether the school feels right and whether it can meet your child’s needs. Our list of questions below can help.

3. Ask for the school to be named

   Tell the council that looks after the plan (often Warwickshire council) that this is the school you want, and ask them to consult it.

4. An offer, and the council’s agreement

   As an independent school not approved under Section 41, it doesn’t have to accept a place: the school has to offer one, and the council has to agree to name it in the plan.

• How will you keep in touch with me day to day?
