Our Planned Places number is agreed annually with the Local Authority. This can vary slightly year on year depending on our capacity to meet the needs of our complex population, but currently sits at 110 places across the whole school.
We may have to limit capacity to admit into a particular Key Stage, or within a particular Learning Pathway within a Key Stage, where other Pathways and Key Stage departments may be at full capacity. This can sometimes mean we have to decline a request for a place even though we may not have reached our overall capacity number.
We can consider requests for places from the Local Authority throughout the year and are often planning the school roll a year ahead.
If you think Saxon Hill may be the school that could meet the specialised needs of your child, you can contact us for an initial informal discussion about your child’s needs and your circumstances.
