Referrals and Admissions

Admissions Criteria

  • Pupils will be aged between 11 and 16 years.
  • All pupils will have an Education, Health and Care Plan.
  • Pupils may have learning difficulties and/or low attainment that are associated with their SEMH/ASC needs.
  • Pupils may have specific learning difficulties associated with SEMH, a range of complex learning and communication needs and additional needs such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia.
  • Pupils may be admitted on the basis of their need for therapeutic support. (See section on therapeutic support.)

Admissions Process

All pupils admitted to Bluebank School will have been initially referred by their Local Authority (LA). If, after reviewing the information provided, the school believes that the pupil meets the admission criteria, arrangements will be made with the LA for the parents/carers and pupil to visit the school. The visit will include a tour of the school, an introduction to key staff and a meeting at which the school policies and curriculum are discussed. Visitors will have the opportunity to ask any questions they may have. If, following these visits, all parties agree that the pupil’s needs can be met at the school and that the pupil and parent/carers are committed to the placement, arrangements will be made for admission.

If you’d like to make a referral or you simply want to know more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
