How to Apply
Local authorities consult directly with Wargrave House. Visits to school are typically made by parents and professionals prior to consultation taking place. An assessment of suitability is carried out by a member of the school’s senior management team and the outcomes are forwarded to the Local authority.
For further information please speak to Tom Wilkinson, Senior Lead Pastoral/ SENCO/ Admissions
Compatible Grouping
Each child is admitted on an initial assessment period of one term when a decision will be made on their suitability to continue at the school.
Consideration will be given to the best interests of children and young people already in school when applicants are being considered for admission. A new child/young person must be able to join an age-appropriate group.
Our Admissions policy can be viewed by clicking here.
Withdrawal
Wargrave House requires one terms notice from a Local Authority should they wish to withdraw a child/young person from the school.
A copy of the full admissions procedure is available from the school administration department.
