Admissions Moor House School & College is a highly specialist educational placement which provides individualised, targeted, and specialist education to a specific population of children who have significant and pervasive language disorders and/or speech disorders with average learning potential. The School therefore meets the needs of a discrete pupil population and undertakes very careful and detailed assessment before offering any pupil a place.
Admissions Criteria If your child, or a student you work with, has difficulties developing, understanding and using language which impacts upon their learning and socialisation then Moor House may be an appropriate school for them. Moor House may be the right place for a student if: • The student is between the ages of 7 and 19 • The student has persisting difficulties in the areas of speech, language and/ communication; and • Speech and language difficulties are the student’s primary barrier to learning and the development of life and social skills.
First steps Please contact our Admissions team on 01883 712271 (option 1) or complete an admissions enquiry form on our website. At this stage it is helpful for you to send us your child’s most recent Educational Psychology report and Speech & Language Therapy Assessment report, if possible. Once we have discussed your child’s needs with you and received your child’s documents we will make a decision to invite your child for an assessment if we feel that we are likely to be able to meet their needs.
The school adheres to education and equality legislation, including the SEND Code of Practice (2014), The Education Act 1996, The Children’s and Families Act 2014, and to its Equality and Diversity Policy.
