Referral

Make a referral

This form is for school SENCos, local authority AP panels and other professionals making a referral. Parents and carers referring directly are welcome to use it too. We'll loop in the current school as part of our review.

01

We review within two working days

A member of the regional team reads every referral and checks it against current capacity before anything else happens.

02

We arrange a visit

If it looks like a fit, we'll contact you to arrange a visit for the young person and their family before any place is confirmed.

03

We confirm a start date

Once a place is agreed, we'll work with you on transport, uniform and any specific support needs ahead of the first day.
