Admissions

Cedar Hall School admits pupils throughout the academic year.  Referrals for places are made via the Local Authority. All pupils are required to have an  Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

We understand how difficult it can be to make the decision to send your child to a Special Needs School and we therefore recommend that you :-

  • Watch the Cedar Hall School videos:

  • Call the school office 01268 774723 to make a telephone appointment to discuss your requirements with the Head Teacher.

  • From the outcome of the telephone appointment a possible school tour and morning pupil assessment visit may be booked.

  • Contact your child's current school and your County Council SEND Team for further advice.  SEND Operations work to support children with special needs.   Cedar Hall works with:

Some comments current parents have made:

“The best thing I ever did was send my daughter to Cedar Hall.  She has gained in confidence with new friendships and her reading and writing have really improved.”

“I would highly recommend this school to anybody even remotely thinking of sending their child there. ”

“I am very happy with the school.  My son has loved every minute and always enjoys coming to school.  Thank you Cedar Hall.”

“I can't thank the school enough.  I think it's a wonderful school that has transformed my child into a lovely little boy who is learning so much because he's happy and feels like he belongs somewhere at last."
