  ADMISSION PROCEDURE

  Admissions to Merefield School are completed through Sefton Local Authority SEN department.  The process of joining Merefield School is as follows:

  A referral to the Headteacher for placement is made by Sefton Local Authority. While the process is taking place parents/carers often request to visit the school to see if the provision is appropriate to the special educational needs of their child.

  The headteacher will read all consultation documents and make a response to Sefton LA if the school is able to meet the needs of the child and if there is a space within the specified cohort.

  Sefton SEN department then decides if they wish to allocate a place at Merefield School.  Parents and school will be notified by Sefton LA and a final EHCP will be issued. The school will then begin the transition process.
