Local Authority Maintained Special Schools for Secondary Education (Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4) in Cheshire East and Surrounding Areas PPS gives information advice and support to parents and carers of children with special educational needs, including during the time when parents are thinking about which secondary school would be right for their child. See our leaflet ‘Moving Up?’ for more information. To be considered for a place in a special school a child would need to have a Statement of Special Educational Needs. By the end of October of Year 6, you will be asked to rank three schools in order of preference. If your child is to attend a special school, the Local Authority will normally provide transport to the nearest one that can meet your child's needs, if it is more than three miles from home, although after the age of 16 you may be asked for a contribution. You can see the school transport policies on www.cheshireeast.gov.uk Tips: You can check the Ofsted report on www.ofsted.gov.uk, click on “Inspection reports”. You may also find the http://schoolsfinder.direct.gov.uk site useful for checking distances to schools,or use Mapquest: type 'Mapquest UK Directions' into an Internet search engine, once on the Mapquest site you can enter your postcode and the post code of the school and it will give you the distance and approximate journey time. Please allow that school transport takes place when the roads are busy and vehicles may shared with other pupils who need to be collected and dropped off. Therefore the journey times may be longer than indicated. There is a recommended maximum actual journey time of 1.25 hours for secondary school pupils. This list is a work in progress. To the best of our knowledge it is correct at the time of production. If you discover errors or changes, we would be glad if you would let us know, also if you find schools that we don't have on the list. We have only given you local authority maintained schools here. There are independent (fee paying) special schools but Cheshire East Local Authority would only pay for a place in one of those if you can prove that no maintained schools with a place available could meet your child's needs. If you need further help or advice, please give PPS a call on 01625 374278.

There may be other children who more nearly meet the school's admissions criteria, which is why you should list more than one school in order of preference.
