Parents Notify

Support families seeking a special class or special school place for September 2027 

Parents and guardians seeking a special class or special school placement for September 2027 should complete the Parents Notify form by 1 September 2026 and submit supporting reports by 15 September 2026.

The National Council for Special Education – NCSE advise the following;

  • Apply early: The deadline is 1 September 2026.

  • Don’t wait for reports: Parents should submit the notification form now—supporting documents can follow by 15 September.

  • Mandatory step: An NCSE Eligibility Letter is required before a school can formally offer a specialist placement.

Once the form and supporting information are received, the local SENO will review the information and provide guidance.
