SEND Admissions
School tours
We understand that finding the right school for your child is a hugely important process. To help you make the best decision we offer small group tours of our schools on specific dates.
-
While we would love to be able to offer individual tours all year round, we’re unable to, due with the nature of our provision and our commitment to ensuring the wellbeing of our current students. Similarly, we limit these tours to just parents or carers, sadly we are not able to accommodate children. The tours are purely for parents or carers of children who are looking for a future placement, and not for those who have already been offered a place. There is a maximum of two spaces per family on each tour to ensure that each family has an opportunity to attend a tour. As these are group tours, unfortunately we can’t answer personal questions regarding individual children during the sessions – instead please do contact us separately when we will be able to answer any queries you may have.
Admissions process
Admissions to all our SEND schools are managed centrally by our SEND Services team. The admissions process varies between Local Authorities. If you would like to ask about a school place for your child, as a first step please email us.
You can also find useful advice on the Suffolk SENDIASS website.

Chalk Hill
Chalk Hill is an Alternative Provision Academy (AP Academy) also called a PRU at times. Admission to Chalk Hill does not need to have an EHCP. Referrals to Chalk Hill still go through the SEP process outlined below before Chalk Hill is asked to consider a student.
From September 2025, all students attending Chalk Hill will require an ECHP.
