Please state if it is a day or residential place that is needed

We have limited places and the referral will move forward quicker if you can supply all the correct, up to date information at the point of initial consultation.

Please refer to our POLICIES PAGE for Statement of Purpose and Function and other policies.

Response

The school will not respond to new referrals while it is closed during holiday periods.

Visit

You are welcome to visit our school and see our facilities first hand to help better inform your decision making process and be a more informed contact point for your parents. Please email referrals@highclose.org.uk to organise a visit.

Unfortunately, we do not have capacity to offer tours for all your parents before they are in the referrals process. We ask that you refer them to this website for information until we extend an invitation to visit.
