Admissions Criteria and Procedure

Trinity School is able to accommodate a variety of needs and provisions, and is appropriate for both statemented and non-statemented children, privately or Local Authority funded, with each application being considered individually.  Children for whom, until now, school has represented failure, who lack confidence and self-esteem, or who have experienced bullying, often feel that at Trinity they belong to a community that understands and welcomes them.

The school does not cater for children with primary behavioural, learning or emotional issues or where their behaviour or attitude might disrupt the education or welfare of others at the school.

After an initial interview with the parents or carers, at which their child's needs can be discussed, each child is invited for one or more Taster Days.  This allows them to sample a typical day and helps the school gain an insight into their specific strengths and weaknesses.

The school will look at each child on an individual basis and, following their Taster Days, will offer entry on condition that a suitable place is available for the child's learning ability, age and emotional needs.  Information from existing relevant and up-to-date assessments by recognised specialists such as Educational Psychologists, Paediatricians and Speech & Language therapists may also be used to make an informed decision.

Variable fees may apply, depending on the pupil's unique needs.

Full details of Fees, Special Provisions and the School's Terms & Conditions are available on request.
