Important information - changes to how Surrey SEND Communicate with parents/carers...

From June 2026, Surrey’s SEND Service has introduced a new way of working, shaped by feedback from families and schools. These changes aim to make communication clearer, more consistent and easier to navigate.  We understand that changes like this can sometimes feel unsettling. The SEND service’s aim is to make it easier for everyone to know who to contact, feel confident they will receive a response, and experience more consistent support.  Please click here to read the full communication.

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Admissions Process

 

Most children with an EHCP can be appropriately supported in mainstream schools. However, if your child has more complex needs, it may have been agreed that they require a place at a mainstream school with a specialist centre attached, or a specialist school.

Below is an overview of the SEND Admissions Process for pupils with an EHCP.  For more detailed guidance, please see the SEND Admissions arrangements for children and young people with an EHCP guidance

These arrangements apply to those pupils who will transfer to Reception, Year 3, Year 7 or Year 12 in September 2024.

If you have any questions about the information on this page, please make an appointment through the school office to speak to Chantelle Bailey or  Robyn Wright, SENDCO
