Admissions

For our students to reach their full potential and feel an integrated and valued member of society.

We work with students with a primary diagnosis of:

• Autism
• Selective mutism
• Developmental Language Disorder

Additional diagnosis:

• Sensory processing disorder
• Diagnosed mental health disorder (e.g., OCD or depression)

All of our student’s academic ability lies broadly within the average (or just below the average) range for their age. We work with children and young people aged 5 to 20 years of age We offer a range of flexible placement options including day, 52-week, term time and weekly residential. We offer a free, no-obligation suitability assessment.

Admissions procedure:

Contact us to discuss your child and let your local authority know that you would like your child to attend Alderwasley Hall School for an assessment. If your local authority supports your request for a placement they will send us your child’s referral papers. If they do not support your request please contact us for advice.

Once we have received your child’s papers and met them personally we make a decision whether to invite your child for assessment. Assessments usually take between two and four days. Assessments for students with very complex needs can last up to 6 weeks to ensure appropriate study of needs. After the assessment has taken place we report our findings to the Local Authority and parents confirming if a placement at the school would be suitable or not.

A child doesn’t need specific qualifications to get a place with us. We simply need to feel confident that we have the resources and expertise to help them gain an education and reach their potential. We accept children and young people from all backgrounds, from across the UK and abroad.
