Admissions
Syon Manor College accepts referrals from parents and local authorities. We encourage parents to engage in a dialogue with their child’s current school SENCo and/or local authority in the first instance. Typically, we receive referrals from local authorities once an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) has been agreed.
Upon receiving a referral, leaders will review the paperwork to see if the school is likely to meet the child/young persons needs. If leaders feel that needs could be met, an initial offer to assess the young person is made. All offers to assess are directed to the local authority in the first instance.
Following an assessment, which may take place at the young persons home and/or current school, the team will confirm if Syon Manor Colleg can meet their needs. If the assessment team feel that needs can be met, a visit to the school will be offered. The nature and duration of this visit will be tailored to the needs of each young person.
At the end of this process, an offer letter is sent to the local authority with starting dates and fees. Within the first 12 weeks of the young person starting at the college, we will arrange for a post admission review to be held. At this meeting, the placement will be discussed and any amendments to the provision agreed with parents/carers and the local authority.
