Admissions

If you feel that Mary Hare School could be the best school for your child, the next step will be to apply for a place. In this section we have in place the guidance and support to enable you the best success when applying for a place at Mary Hare School.

Here is a quick break down of those next steps:

1. Come and see us in action at one of our Open Days

Our Open Days are a great way to come and see Mary Hare School and explore the grounds, see our school in action and our facilities, with presentations that offer additional information and the opportunities to ask questions to key members of staff.

2. Check your child's paperwork and Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) are up to date.

This will be important throughout the application process. We have lots of advice about how to maintain an accurate EHCP that best represents your child's needs.

3. Book in your child for an assessment

Every pupil hoping to join us will be assessed.  The length of time for an assessment visit will depend upon your child's current year group. We will make sure that your child has an enjoyable visit, gets to know a bit more about us and makes some friends.  We will also make sure that you, as a parent, will be informed of each step of the process.

Our Admissions Manager will liaise with you throughout the process to ensure the right documentation is in place and to answer any questions that you might have. 

4. Securing your child's place with your Local Authority.

If we offer you a place following an assessment, we hope you accept, and the next step will be to get Mary Hare School named by your Local Authority. This journey can look different for each family, and we strongly encourage you to read through our guidance, as well as seek advice and support from other services, such as the National Deaf Children's Society and your local SENDIASS.
