We’re currently more than happy to take referrals directly from parents and carers who are looking to find the right setting for their child or young person.

​

Parents and Carers are advised to talk first with the SENDCo at their child’s current place of education. The SENDCo (along with the parent/carer) can then refer to the Local Authority admission placement process where decisions for referral will be made.

​

For admission, children and young people:

• Will be aged between 11 – 18 years (secondary age, or transitioning to secondary phase)

• Will be referred by their local authority (most likely Kent or Medway)

• Will have an education, health and care plan (or will be under assessment)

• Will have a diagnosis of an autistic spectrum condition

• May have social, emotional, mental health needs as well

• May have specific learning difficulties such as Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Dyscalculia

• Will benefit from the school’s therapeutic and relational approach to education and learning.

​

If you’d like to know more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Our Admissions team will be happy to discuss you and your child’s needs in more detail. Please contact office@newingateschool.co.uk
