Children with an Education, Health and Care Plan
Children with an Education, Health and Care Plan(EHCP) attending a Mainstream School, the Admissions Authority (even when it is the Governing Body) must admit a child with an EHCP whether they have places or not. This is not an oversubscription criterion.
Children with an EHCP count towards the published admission number. The admission arrangements for children with an EHCP are specifically excluded from the usual arrangements, including appeal arrangements.
If your child has additional needs but not an EHCP, your application for a school place will be considered on the basis of the published admissions arrangements.
