At Woodfield School, we consider children and young people aged 7-19 years for admission against the following criteria:
- The pupil will have an Education Health Care Plan
- The statement will specify that the pupil has Social Emotional Mental health needs, Moderate learning difficulties or ASD
- The pupil will express a commitment to the placement and agree to Woodfield School’s expectations.
- The parents/carers of the pupil will express a commitment to the placement and agree to Woodfield School’s expectations.
- For all Looked After Children, there must be permanently named carers and a permanent home base for the pupil, available at any time throughout the year.
Following an initial enquiry, we will request and assess all the necessary documentation to ensure we are able to successfully meet the pupil’s needs. This will include:
- Current Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP)
- Most recent annual review/key educational progress data
- The pupil’s attendance at their previous setting
- A chronology of the child’s life to date, to include information on suspensions and periods out of education
- Current/most recent behaviour management plan(s) and risk assessment(s)
- Any additional assessments
- Any additional professional reports (e.g., psychology, psychiatry, paediatrics, occupational therapy, YOS, CAMHS etc.)
- Parental/ carer submissions
- Current/most recent care plan/ Personal Education Plan (PEP)
- Information on any previous Pupil Premium spend
After this assessment, we will invite parents/carers to visit Woodfield and arrange to meet the young person, either in their current setting or at home.
Once all parties have agreed that Woodfield is the best place for the pupil, and we can meet their needs, we will provide a formal offer and agree an appropriate pupil-centred package of support. We will also agree a transition plan so that the pupil and their family can experience a positive start at Woodfield.
