What are your school’s admissions requirements?

We accept both local authority funded and private placements. For private placements, we ask families to submit their child's EHCP and most recent annual review so we can understand their needs and make sure we can offer the right support.

You can find more information on our Admissions page.

Can I book a tour?

We know finding the right school for your child is an important decision, so we encourage families to visit the school, explore our facilities and meet the team. 

To book a tour, contact us via email or telephone.

Do children need an EHCP to attend Earley Springs?

Children attending Earley Springs typically have an EHCP as this helps us ensure we can provide the right support for their individual needs. 

If you're exploring options for your child and would like advice on the admissions process, you can contact the team who will be happy to help.

What types of needs do you support?

Students at Earley Springs have a Primary Need of Communication and Interaction on their EHCP’s.

Most students will have a diagnosis of ASD and present with associating difficulties, but not where these needs present as complex and/or as challenging or defiant behaviour.

Is the curriculum adapted for different learning needs?

We believe that every child deserves a personalised and meaningful education that recognises their individuality and supports them to reach their full potential. Our curriculum is designed around three tailored pathways which are called Explorers, Discoverers and Investigators, each created to meet the diverse needs within our school community.

How will I receive updates about my child’s progress?

We maintain open communication with parents/carers, providing regular updates on their child’s progress and activities through various channels, including:

• Home/school diaries
• Weekly photo diaries
• Parent evenings
• Consultation meetings
• Annual Reviews
• Telephone and email communication

We also use Evisense, a secure communication hub, to track and share your child’s progress. This allows us to record achievements, monitor development, and build a clear picture of each student’s learning journey over time. If you have any questions or would like further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
