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.

Ofsted ungraded inspection, 14 July 2021: School remains Outstanding
An ungraded inspection confirms or questions the previous grade; it does not set a new one.
Last overall grade: Outstanding, given on 4 October 2011
Historic. This is the last time Ofsted gave the school a single overall grade. Overall grades were abolished for state schools in September 2024.
