There is no substitute for seeing things for yourself. That is why the majority of schools hold open days and evenings when parents can visit and talk to teachers and current pupils. We believe this provides a good opportunity for you to get the feel of the school, and strongly encourage you to attend before submitting your secondary transfer application by the final closing date of 2 November 2015. The parents’ information booklet ‘Secondary Education 2016 – Opportunities for your child in Birmingham’ is available to view at www.birmingham.gov.uk/schooladmissions. The booklet includes information to help you see if your child would have met the oversubscription criteria for a particular school in the past three years. You should consider this information carefully as a guide to whether you have a realistic chance of being offered a place at a school. However, please note that due to population changes from year to year there is no guarantee that the trend in past years will be repeated.

    Opportunities for Children with Statements of Special Educational Needs or Education Health Care Plans in Birmingham SECONDARY Transfer Booklet 2018 To download an electronic version visit: www.birmingham.gov.uk/senar A great city to grow up in 1 Introduction Transfer to Secondary School; Children with Statements of Special Educational Needs (SSEN) and Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plans in Birmingham 2018. Dear Parent/Carer, We know that your child’s move into secondary school education can be an anxious time, so this booklet has been put together to help guide you through the secondary transfer process for pupils with EHC Plans or Statements of Special Educational Needs. It tells you about secondary education in Birmingham, the secondary schools your child may be able to attend, and about how to express your preference for individual schools. A large number of children and young people with EHC Plans or Statements of Special Educational Needs attend, and have their needs met in, their local mainstream secondary school. If you are considering a placement for your child in a mainstream school, Section 16 of this booklet provides details about those secondary schools. For some children more specialist provision may be appropriate – please see Section 18. If you are interested in a particular secondary school, you should contact the school to arrange a visit. The Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) from your child’s current school will be able to help you with this. You may have already been given advice on the type of secondary school suitable for your child through discussion at an Annual Review meeting.
