Admissions
Places at special schools are normally arranged through a child's Education, Health and Care Plan, with the local authority naming the school. Speak to your borough's special educational needs team rather than applying on the general admissions form.
Inspection
Inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI)
ISI does not give a single overall grade and does not publish its findings as open data, so we show no rating. Read the latest report on isi.net.
