How do I get a place at a special school in Southend-on-Sea?

Places at special schools usually come through an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan. If your child has one, ask Southend-on-Sea 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.
