Admissions

Starting school at NHLC

NHLC is a local authority (LA) special school for pupils at key Stages 1, 2, 3 and 4, who exhibit social, emotional and mental health needs as indicated by:

• withdrawn or disruptive behaviour
• a marked and persistent inability to concentrate
• signs of considerable frustration or distress in relation to learning
• difficulties in establishing and maintaining balanced relationships with peers or adults
• any other evidence of a significant delay in the development of life and social skills

It is expected that the LA will have completed an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) prior to the admission of a child to NHLC.

The admission of pupils is delegated to the Headteacher by the Governing Body.
