Admissions to Norfolk Council Council Special Schools - Guidance for Parents

The leaflet attached provides guidance for parents of children with special educational needs about admissions to NCC maintained special schools. A copy of the leaflet will be given to parents when they visit a special school. It contains basic information about the process of admission and contains contact details for all maintained special schools and of Assessment and Provision staff who can provide further information to parents.

Mainstream schools may find the information helpful in discussing the possibility of seeking a special school place for their child with parents, particularly prior to or during an Annual Review of a Statement of Special Educational Needs.

The document clarifies the role of the Local Authority as the Admissions Authority for maintained special schools. It also identifies next steps for parents who may wish to consider a special school place for their child.
