Referrals and admissions

Admission Criteria:

  •  Pupils will be aged between 8-16 years old
  • All pupils will have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP)
  • The EHCP will specify that social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs is a primary or secondary area of need
  • Pupils may have learning difficulties and/or low attainment that are associated with their SEMH needs
  • Pupils may have specific learning difficulties associated with SEMH, a range of complex learning and communication needs and
    additional needs or diagnosis
  • Pupils may be admitted on the basis of their need for therapeutic support

Process:

All pupils admitted to Dibden Park School will have been initially referred by their Local Authority (LA). If, after reviewing the information
provided, the school believes that the pupil meets the admission criteria, arrangements will be made with the LA for the parents/carers and
pupil to visit the school.

The visit will include a tour of the school, introduction to key staff and a meeting at which the school policies and curriculum are discussed.
Visitors will have the opportunity to ask any questions they may have.

If, following these visits, all parties are agreed that the pupil’s needs can be met at the school and that the pupil and parent/carers are
committed to the placement, arrangements will be made for admission.

If you’d like to make a referral or you simply want to know more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
