No pupil will be refused admission to school on the basis of his or her special educational need.
In line with the Equality Act 2010 we will not discriminate against disabled children in respect of admissions for a reason related to their disability.
The SENDCo in collaboration with the SLT, parents and other key agencies will ensure the appropriate provision is in place to support pupils entering the school. The LA will liaise with the school so that decisions on placement for a pupil with an Education and Health Care Plan reflect the individual circumstances of each child and the school.
Please contact Gateshead SEND team for further advice on our admission process.
