Admissions are managed via the local authority through a referral and consultation process. Essex uses the consultation process to engage with all SEN schools to assess each applicant’s individual needs alongside availability at suitable schools.
Application and assessment are managed via locality teams, please contact the SEND Operations team for the area that your child currently lives in to make an application;
