Applicants with SEND

It is only possible for us to provide additional support for a small proportion of our student intake each year.

In order to determine the necessary support required during the admission process and if an offer is made, we require parents of children with special educational needs, specific pastoral needs, disabilities or allergies to share their child’s needs with the School when they complete the Application Form for a place at the school, and before they have undertaken any of our assessments.

At the point of completing the Application Form parents must share any known or suspected needs or diagnoses relating to their child’s health, well-being, abilities or behaviour. This includes any known or suspected pastoral issues relating to their child’s physical or mental health, their well-being, social interactions, bullying or wider family circumstances. It also includes any issues that may impact on their suitability to board if they are applying for a boarding place.

Where we conclude that we can reasonably meet a child’s needs, we invite them for assessment; where we do not, we inform the parents at the earliest possible stage to enable them to consider other options.

The registration deadline for applicants with SEND who wish to join St Chris in September 2025 is Friday 22 November 2024.

If you wish to make an enquiry beyond this date, please contact the Admissions Department directly.

Please see our Admissions Policy for further information.
