It is not possible to apply directly to the school to obtain a place for your child.

 

Penn Fields School caters for students who have moderate and complex learning difficulties and school places are recommended by the Local Authority during or following a students EHCP process. If a place is suggested you can telephone to arrange an appointment to view the school and are warmly invited to look around and talk to a member of the senior leadership team. You are welcome to bring your child on a pre-visit prior to the school being named on a EHCP.  We may contact a previous school and/or make a home or school visit if necessary.

 

All students attend school on a full time basis. Admissions dates are throughout the year and in some circumstances a phased induction may be appropriate. When it is agreed to admit a student, a number of general forms will need to be completed including Medical, General Consent for outdoor activities, use of the internet, student Information and a Home School Agreement.

How can I get my child recommended to an SEN school?

​

Any professional working with a child, young person or family can make a referral to the authority for an Education, Health or Care Assessment. It is usual for referrals to come from the child/young person's educational provider but any parent or young person (over the age of 16) can make a direct request. However, it is recommended you first speak to the young person's existing teacher or Special Needs Coordinator (SENCo) as they will be able to help you.
