The admissions process, step by step

  1. Your child has an EHCP

    All pupils at Warmley Park must hold a current Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) issued by South Gloucestershire Council. If your child does not yet have an EHCP, the first step is to request an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment through the 0–25 team.

  2. Referral via the case advisory panel

    Admission to Warmley Park is via South Gloucestershire's case advisory panel. The panel reviews EHCPs and can refer pupils at any point during the school year — admissions are not restricted to September.

  3. Contact the 0–25 team

    Any questions about the admissions process should be directed to the 0–25 team at Children, Adults and Health, South Gloucestershire Council. They coordinate all referrals and can advise on timelines and next steps.

  4. Come and visit us

    We strongly encourage families to visit the school before or during the admissions process. We hold six open mornings per year. Seeing the school in action is the best way to understand whether Warmley Park is the right fit for your child.
