Young people aged 9 to 14 (Key Stages 2 and 3) with SEN or SEMH can come to our AP for up to three days per week, with referrals welcome thoughout the year.

School or Council Referral 

The majority of young people coming to us will have been referred via their school or the council (Local Authority), and funded by them, often as part of an EHCP. If our AP is suggested as a positive fit for your young person, you are welcome to visit before they start their placement to find out more about the activities and support we offer. 

Private Referral

We also accept self-funded or EOTAS private referrals. The cost for this can be high due to the necessary child:adult ratio, but we will always try to be as flexible as possible if we have space in our cohort. Interested parents/carers are welcome to visit to get a better idea about whether our setting would be suitable – we suggest you do this without your young person in the first instance.
