Admissions

High Well School is a Local authority Maintained school for SEND students aged between 9-16 years old.

We cater for children with a wide range of diverse needs including Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH), (SLCN) speech language and communication, (ASD) Autistic spectrum Disorder, (MLD) moderate learning difficulties and challenging behaviours. 

All pupils at High Well have an Education, Health and Care Plan, all our pupils have a primary or secondary need of SEMH. Admissions to the school are co-ordinated by Wakefield Local Authority through the Special Needs Assessment and Review Team (SENaRT) based at Normanton Town Hall.  Decisions on pupil eligibility for a place at High Well School are taken on a case by case basis by Wakefield's Education, Health and Care Plan Panel, who then consult with High Well School on whether the school can meet the individual pupil's needs.

Our open evenings for parents/carers and their child who potentially wish for their child to attend High Well are held on the first Tuesday of every month. This gives parents/carers and their child the opportunity to view the school and meet key staff. Visits to the school are welcomed and can be arranged by contacting the school for an appointment.
