How to get a place

4 steps, starting with an EHC plan

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.
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.
Ask for the school to be named
Tell the council that looks after the plan (often Leicester council) that this is the school you want, and ask them to consult it.
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.
