Separated parents and parental responsibility

• You must have agreement from anyone else who has parental responsibility before continuing with your application. Anyone with parental responsibility must be involved in significant decisions relating to the child, including their education. This applies even if the child does not live with the other person with parental responsibility. There is more information about parental responsibility here: https://www.gov.uk/parental-rights-responsibilities. Providing false information on this application form could result in the offer of a place being withdrawn.

• Please attach evidence of your new address to your application.

• An application form is not required. Contact the Statutory SEN Service for more information on 01872 324242
  

• The application MUST be completed by the Social Worker. We cannot accept applications from any other person.
