Pupils with Special Educational Needs
The School does not discriminate against any pupil or parent whose child wishes to enrol, or
is enrolled under the terms and conditions of the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act
(2001). We welcome enquiries and applications from all boys and girls. Entrance to the School is
competitive and based on academic ability.
Individual arrangements can be made, subject to reasonable adjustments, for boys and girls
with special educational needs to ensure that the examination (or other assessment) for entrance to
Colfe’s is accessible to all. Pupils with special educational needs are admitted according to the
same criteria as other pupils, provided that admission is compatible with:
- the provision of efficient education for the children with whom he/ she will be educated
- the efficient use of resources
There are no special facilities at the School for pupils who are physically disabled, nor any
special units. However the School is committed to the integration of pupils with a wide range of
needs, and their involvement in the whole life of the school, in line with our Equal Opportunities
Policy and the terms of the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act (2001).
