Special educational or medical needs

You may feel that your child has special educational needs (SEN) or that you need to apply for a place at our school on medical grounds.  In our admissions policy, there is particular guidance on these complex issues and you can also find more information on the SEN page of Hampshire’s website.

We are proud of our equal opportunities policy in practice and our children with SEN generally perform better academically than similar children nationally.  We are only at the end of the phone should you want to chat this through further with us.

Appealing an admissions decision

Should you not receive the decision you were hoping for on your child’s application for our school then you are entitled to make an appeal which will be heard independently and to a clear timetable.

Appeals can be made on two grounds:

1. Infant class sizes – this is where an application is refused on the grounds that the child’s admission would breach the infant class size limit of 30 children.
2. Standard – this is where an application is refused because the child’s admission would prejudice the provision of efficient education or the efficient use of resources

In either case, more information and the detailed documentation behind each can be accessed through the appeals information page on the Hampshire County Council website.
