Admissions to Willow Park School
Willow Park School believes that all children with special educational needs arising from an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Speech, Language and Communication difficulty, whose profile of needs appears consistent with the school’s admissions criteria, and whose parents and local authority wish it, have a right to be considered for assessment for admission.
The school prioritises referrals from Local Authorities and then considers parental referrals on a first-come, first-served basis. Willow Park School considers referrals from all cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds and does not discriminate on any of these grounds.
Please see our Admissions Policy here.
Pupil Induction
When pupils start at Willow Park, we plan their induction on a case by case basis; due to the nature of their previous experiences, most pupils will start the school on a reduced timetable in order to enable them to transition successfully.
The Pupil Induction and Reduced Timetabling Policy sets out the process that we will follow, in order to secure safeguarding responsibilities, educational entitlement, due process and monitoring and recording. The policy makes explicit what staff at Willow Park must do if a reduced timetable is agreed.
There are two types of reduced timetabling to be agreed at Willow Park
-
Reduced Timetable to support pupils on induction to the school; that is, the approach we take when children first start at Willow Park
-
Reduced Timetable as a result of a perceived need to help the pupil or other pupils to stay safe and/or to reduce anxiety about change.
If you are wondering if Willow Park School is the right provision for your child, please contact us.
IMPORTANT
You do not need to live near the school, or indeed in Warwickshire, for your child to get a place at Willow Park School. We do not have a 'catchment area'.
We take referrals from Warwickshire and many other neighbouring local Authorities such as Leicestershire, Coventry, Solihull, Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire.
Speak to us and your local authority if you believe that Willow Park School could be right for you and your child.
