Admissions Policy
In general the criteria for making an application to our ASD class are in line with Dept. criteria i.e.
The special class provides an education exclusively for students with a diagnosis of ASD. Parents must provide a diagnostic report prepared by a Psychologist, Psychiatrist or Multi-Disciplinary team, within 2 years of application, that has assessed and classified the child as having autism or autism spectrum disorder using the DSM-V or ICD 10. The report must include a recommendation that a special class placement in a mainstream school is both necessary and suitable for the child, due to the presence of complex learning needs. The school/SENO may refuse admission to this class, where the student concerned does not have the specified category of special educational needs provided for in this class
It is vital that parents engage with the Special Needs Organiser for their area prior to making an application. A letter from the SENO confirming their child's eligibility for a placement in an ASD Class must accompany applications.
