Please note that all our communication will come via email. Please ensure

1. Offer of a Place:
The letter will include details of your child’s assessment, their starting year group
and the proposed start date. To accept the place, you will need to read, sign and
return the attached Acceptance Letter, Parent & Student Contract, and Financial
Agreement.
2. Offer of a Conditional Place:
A Conditional Offer is made when the Review Committee feels that a student
would benefit from joining the school, but does not quite meet our selection
criteria. In this case, we will make on offer conditional on the student meeting
certain targets.
3. Offer of a Place on the Waitlist:
Where a student meets the selection criteria, but we are full the student’s year
group, we will make an offer of a place on our waitlist. To accept this place, you will
need to read, sign and return the attached Waitlist Acceptance Letter.
4. Unable to Offer a Place:
Unfortunately, we are not able to offer places to all students. Where we feel that
we cannot offer the right level of support, or where they do not meet our selection
criteria, we will contact the parent to explain why we are unable to offer a place.
