Questions parents ask
Which schools in Waltham Forest support dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties?
Whitefield School and Big Creative Academy.
How do I get a place at a special school in Waltham Forest?
Places at special schools usually come through an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan. If your child has one, ask Waltham Forest 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.
Who can help me with an EHC plan in Waltham Forest?
Waltham Forest SENDIASS gives free, independent advice on EHC plans, meetings and appeals. The council’s Local Offer explains what support is available locally.
