The governors will give priority to children with a statement of special education needs (EHCP) which names the school on the statement (EHCP). Parents must visit the school, by arrangement, before naming Jack Hunt School on the statement, so that they are confident that the school has the facilities and resources to meet their child’s needs. In addition, the school must be confident that they have the facilities and resources to meet the child’s needs.
