Pupils with special educational needs
By law, pupils who have a statement of special educational needs are not subject to the same admission arrangements as non-statemented children. The 1996 Education Act and its accompanying Code of Practice on the identification and assessment of special educational needs govern procedures for pupils with statements.
However, parents of children with special educational needs do have the right to express a preference for a secondary school and you will receive an application form from The Special Needs Team. The timescale for the transfer to Secondary school for children with statements of special educational need may differ from those of other children.
Further advice can be obtained from the Special Needs Team on 020 8820 7512.
