Bennerley Fields converted to academy status on 1st August 2018 and joined the Esteem Multi-Academy Trust. We cater for pupils aged 2 to 16 with a range of Special Educational Needs. All pupils will have a Statement of Special Educational Need or an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

Admission will be dependent on the availability of a place (current maximum 91) and the suitability of the school to meet the particular SEN needs of the pupil and the impact that the pupil’s attendance might have on the education of other pupils in the school. (Paragraphs 34 & 35 Circular 15/99)

The Local Authority must consult the governing body of Bennerley Fields before naming the school on a pupil’s EHCP. The governing body has designated the responsibility of liaising with the Local Authority to the Headteacher.

The majority of pupils will be admitted on a full time basis but exceptions will be made on the basis of age, medical needs, and transition into Bennerley Fields after a period of non-attendance at another school.

Prospective parents / carers are welcome to visit the school during one of our scheduled half-termly parent show round evenings. Please contact the school office for more information and dates.
