Admissions - Radio City School

We know that choosing the right school is a big decision especially when your child experiences the world differently. At our school, we work closely with families and local authorities to make sure our setting is the right fit for each young person. Using tailored care and support, we shape your child’s life helping them grow into the person you know they’ll become.

Admissions criteria

Young people aged 8-18
Has social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs or neurodivergent conditions, such as an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) and learning disabilities

Our admissions procedure

Step 1: Referral review

The school will review a referral and if after gathering the relevant information about the child, we feel we may be able to offer a placement, we will arrange an assessment visit. This will usually take place in school, but we can conduct visits to the home, if we feel this is more appropriate.

Step 2: School visit

The young person, family members or the professionals supporting them will be invited to Radio City School to meet our staff members and take a tour of the school. This is an opportunity to ask any questions about our school and our admissions process and for us to find out more about the young person and their needs.

Step 3: Placement offer

If we feel that Radio City School can support the young person and their specific needs, we will make a placement offer to the referrer. This will include how we envisage meeting the young person’s needs, any additional support we feel will be required for the placement and what the anticipated outcomes for the child might be.

Step 4: Transition into school

Once a placement is accepted by the young person, their family and any involved professionals, we will make arrangements to transition them into school. As the young person begins to settle into Radio City School, we will undertake baseline assessments that will enable us to track and measure their development and progress going forward.
