Additional Needs and Disabilities

Egham Park welcomes all applicants regardless of any learning needs and/or disabilities.

However, its facilities (physical and otherwise) for pupils with physical disabilities and /or significant learning difficulties are limited. Egham Park will do all that is reasonable to comply with the Equality Act 2010 so that the school may accommodate the needs of disabled applicants for which, with reasonable adjustments, the school can cater for sufficiently.

Egham Park will do all that is reasonable to ensure that the application process is accessible for disabled applicants and will make such reasonable adjustments as necessary, in line with the physical attributes of the property.

Parents/carers must inform the school when submitting the Registration Form of any circumstances relating to the young person that may affect their presentation in the admissions procedure, and their ability to fully participate in the education provided by the school.

Parents/carers may be invited to an initial meeting with the Principal to discuss ways in which any disadvantages could be reduced or removed from the admissions process and to ensure that the young person’s needs can be suitably met should an offer of placement be made.

Egham Park may request further information and associated correspondence from any professionals working with the young person in order to make a balanced assessment.

If after reasonable adjustments have been considered, it is felt that Egham Park cannot meet the young person’s individual needs, the Local Authority will be informed, along with the reasons why.

If additional or undisclosed needs become apparent after the admission, Egham Park will consult with parents/carers about what reasonable adjustments, if any, can be made to facilitate the continuation of the placement. If after reasonable adjustments have been considered, the school is unable to meet the needs of the pupil, an emergency annual review may be arranged in order to cease the placement and alert the Local Authority to identify an alternative placement.
