Heltwate School is a co-educational special school for children and young people aged 5 to 19 years with Moderate to Severe learning Difficulties, Autistic Spectrum Condition and many additional medical needs.

The school roll has increased over the last few years and currently we have almost 170 pupils, all with an Education, Health and Care Plans (EHC) or Statement of Special Education Need.

Admission to Heltwate School takes place after a full multi professional assessment of the child. Parent involvement in the process is imperative and we encourage visits to the school.

Places are allocated through the Authority's Statutory Assessment Team and are for children Education, Health and Care Plans. If your child has a statement you will find it helpful to discuss the position with the Assessment & Review Officer (Tel: 01733 748361, 748364 or 748365) before making your application.

Post 16 Entry requirements

We have a small post 16 provision with places for 16 pupils across 3 KS5 year groups. Transition to Post 16 can be a daunting process and we want you to have a clear and informed idea of what our curriculum entails in preparing your child for adulthood, ensure you make an appropriate choice, and enhance your ability to support them as parents through to adulthood.
