Secondary School Information

School admissions can be stressful for any family but we will be here to support you throughout the process. Parents of children who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) aren’t required to make an application for secondary school places to their Local Authority in the normal admissions round, as the question of secondary school placements for these children should be addressed through a transition review of their EHCP.

It is therefore important to have a clear idea of which school you would like your child to go to by their year 6 annual review so that your preference can be recorded and returned to the Local Authority. If you are a parent of a child in year 5 or 6 and want further information, don't hesitate to contact a member of the senior leadership team.

You can also contact SES for further guidance and support.

Sarah shares with you some information about the process that will take place during your child's last year at Oaklands

Ash Field Academy Ash Field Academy is a specialist school catering for pupils from age 4 to 19. The school serves Leicester City, Leicestershire and Rutland and also admits pupils from other counties.

Our pupil population has a wide range of cognitive ability, from those with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulies (PMLD) to those with more Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD), and everything in between. A few of our pupils' cognition is more in line with national expectations; however, the shift towards greater inclusion means that most of these pupils are now generally catered for in mainstream schools and as a result, our main curriculum provision is now more focused at supporting pupils with learning difficulties. In addition to physical and learning needs and disabilities, many pupils also have communication and sensory needs. Whilst we are able to cater for pupils who have some level of social and emotional needs and have seen significant success in this area, due to the medical vulnerabilities of many of our pupils, we are unable to meet the needs of pupils with significantly challenging behaviours.
