If your child may require a place in a Special Class or a Special School next year, please note the new arrangements:

 

Key Changes – Deadline is now 1 October 2025. Parents must notify the NCSE by 1 October 2025 if they are seeking a placement for the 2026/27 school year.

 

What you must do:

1. Complete the ‘Parents Notify’ form on the NCSE website to indicate your interest in a special class or special school.

2. After review, the NCSE will issue an eligibility letter if your child meets the criteria. This letter must be submitted to your chosen school during the enrolment process.
