Emmaus Student Support
Students who have specific language and/or communication needs, that result in a diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome and/or Autism, can be considered for a place at the Communication Department. Admission to a Communication Department placement is only through successful Local Authority application and is usually for students who have been supported either in specialist provision during their primary school years or who require more specialist input moving into mainstream secondary schooling. Students will require an Education, Health and Care Plan. Parents are encouraged to talk to their primary school/ current school SENDCo and Casework Officer supporting the primary school/ current school and to contact the Special Educational Needs Team at the Local Authority. All requests for admissions for children with an EHCP should come from the Local Authority. Local Authority requests should be sent to EHCPAdmissions@st-pauls.org.uk.
