Admissions for those with Special Educational Needs
Parents/carers of students whose needs were met in their previous school under “school support” (those students without EHCPs) are welcome to apply for places at City Academy via the usual Bristol City Council admissions procedure. Parents/carers are encouraged to share information about their children’s needs so that the SENCO can attend the admissions meeting and then share information with colleagues and plan provision as appropriate.
For students with EHCPs, the Local Authority SEND Dept will send a copy of the EHCP to the SENCO and the SENCO will respond, confirming whether or not City Academy has the resources to meet the young person’s needs. If City Academy is felt by the SENCO, the Local Authority and the parent/carer to be the most suitable placement for the young person, the SENCO will then meet with the parent/carer to plan their admission and SEND provision.
