How do I get a place at a special school in Somerset?
Places at special schools usually come through an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan. If your child has one, ask Somerset council (or the council that looks after the plan) to consult the school you want. If a council, academy, non-maintained or Section 41 school is named in the plan, it must admit your child.
