A registered age range and open status do not confirm a suitable or available place. Registered capacity is not a vacancy count. The admission route, funding and current operational age range need to be checked for the particular school and child.
Questions before deciding
- Which setting and age group would my child join, and what are the current admission criteria?
- Which needs can the school support, and what provision would actually be available to my child?
- How are communication, sensory needs, distress and safeguarding supported day to day?
- What local-authority consultation, EHCP or other referral process applies, and who agrees funding and transport?
- Can we read the latest inspection report and policies, visit the relevant site and discuss transition support?
