Whilst most students who attend the Link will already have an EHCP in place, it is not a requirement for a placement. Students may be placed with us for assessment, to assist with a possible EHCP application. However, all applications to the Link should be made via the local authority. They will be able to give parents advice on the most appropriate setting for their child's needs.

Currently The Link does not have a separate DfE number, so all students will be required to dual-roll with another setting. Unfortunately, students at The Link are not able to dual-roll with Manor Green School. This arrangement will be agreed by the Local Authority as part of the placement.

Once we receive an application, we will carefully consider whether we can fully meet the child's needs. We may arrange to observe the child in their current school setting or invite them to meet us at The Link prior to offering a placement.

We know how important it is for parents to feel that a school is right for their child. We will always do our best to facilitate a visit to the school to help parents make an informed decision, but we are only able to consider visits where we know that we have a potential place to offer as our staffing and resources are targeted to give every child the best support and opportunities. Visits will be encouraged for all families where a place has been offered.
