Barnet Local Offer :: Home / Parent and Carer Zone

All children with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHC) will be considered for a place at Wren Academy should their parents select the school through the Barnet consultation process.  Other children with learning needs will be subject to the admissions policy as for all other applicants.

Young people with disabilities will also be subject to the application policy. In exceptional cases, children with disabilities may be given special consideration for a place at Wren if their parents/carers can convincingly demonstrate that it would not be appropriate for them to attend another school.

We consult with nurseries before children start at Wren and each child and their parent receive an individual meeting to understand the child’s needs and provision required.  Wherever possible, children are visited in their nursery or primary setting.  We then thoroughly assess children before and on their arrival at the Academy.  In these ways, we are confident that individual needs will be identified and a range of appropriate support and intervention strategies are put in place.  These are individualised so that all young people are enabled to make the maximum progress of which they are capable.  It is of fundamental importance to us that students are not disadvantaged because of learning needs and that they are given appropriate support to thrive at school.  We work closely with the local authority and our SEND report is part of the https://www.barnetlocaloffer.org.uk/
