How Do I Apply If My Child Has an EHCP?

AI Summary

If your child has an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), you won't apply through the standard admissions process for primary or secondary schools. Instead, you need to contact your SEN caseworker for specific guidance on the application process.

Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Speak to your SEN caseworker at the council.
  2. Call them at 020 8313 4739 for advice on how to apply for a school place.

For more information about admissions, you can find help on the Bromley Admissions page or reach out for assistance directly.
