Referral & admissions

A plan built together

A careful, personal process where conversation, documentation and assessment work together from the very beginning.

How admissions work

Unhurried. Honest. Personal.

Six careful steps bring conversation, documentation and assessment together, from the first enquiry to a planned first day, shaped around the young person.
01

Initial enquiry

A short call or email begins the process. We gather the key information, listen to what matters and explain clearly what we need to assess whether HyFlex could be the right fit.
02

Documentation

EHCPs, review notes, previous school reports and any specialist input come to us. We read them properly, cover to cover, before we meet.
03

Review & matching

The SLT meets to consider fit: pathway, environment, staff match, and, most importantly, whether we can genuinely serve this young person well.
04

Pre-placement

A visit. A walk. A video call. Whatever pace the young person can meet us at. No pressure to commit, we’re getting to know each other, and that takes as long as it takes.
05

Placement planning

Baseline assessments, EHCP alignment, a costed and dated plan, and a named key adult who will be theirs. Agreed together with the local authority and the family.
06

First day & beyond

A gentle start. Weekly key-adult reviews for the first half-term, then half-termly outcomes evidence for the LA, for as long as the placement runs.

Our setting is best understood in person

A quiet half-hour walk-through will tell you more than any prospectus. Come at a time that suits you, weekdays, evenings, or a weekend if that’s what makes it possible.

Get in touch

Tell us about the young person

Prefer to talk it through? We’re happy to take a call, answer an email, or arrange a visit at a pace that works, for the young person first, and everyone else after.
