Admission for children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs or an Education, Health and Care Plan

Where Budmouth Academy is named in a child’s Statement of Special Educational Needs or Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), the governing body recognises a duty to admit the child to the Academy. The admissions process for children with a Statement or EHCP is administered by the Local Authority.

There is the opportunity to appeal against a decision not to offer a place. Appeals are heard by an independent panel and their decision is binding on the College. Information can be found at: https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/appeal-a-school-admission-decision-1
