Admissions process for pupils with an Education Healthcare Plan
Christ’s College Finchley is an independent state academy.
We are part of the Barnet-wide agreement on Secondary Admissions.
Parents of pupils with an Education Healthcare Plan will be contacted separately by the LA and asked to express their preferences for schools. The school identified by the parent considers the special educational needs of the pupils and if their needs can be effectively met by the school a place will be reserved at the preferred school and named on the child’s Education Healthcare Plan. When making decisions the LA must ensure provision that is compatible with the efficient education of the other children with whom the students with special educational needs would be educated. However, all reasonable steps that the school and the LA could take to prevent incompatibility will be considered before a decision is taken not to name a preferred school on an Educational Healthcare Plan.
Barnet Parent/Carer Drop-In Sessions – SEND
The Specialist Inclusion Services and Educational Psychology Team are facilitating ‘Parent/Carer Drop-In’ sessions along with the Social, Emotional and Mental Health Advisory Teacher (SEMH)and NHS SALT teams.
These sessions are free sessions, although they must be booked in advance (based on a ‘first come – first allocated’ approach). They are available for parents/carers of Barnet children and young people (0-25), to share any concerns or issues on a 1:1 basis with a relevant professional. It is a stand-alone session, so this means that there is no follow-up. The aim of this session is to provide Barnet parents/carers with an opportunity to discuss concerns, and collectively think through how to move forward with the situation.
