Glendinning Academy Referrals

Glendinning Academy is a special school providing 120 places for boys and girls in the age range 7 to 16, who have a primary need of social communication and interaction including those on the Autism Spectrum, whose needs cannot be met within a mainstream school due to environmental factors.

Our Learners should be capable of accessing a mainstream curriculum with appropriate environmental adaptations. For a child to be admitted the school must be named, by a local authority, in the child’s Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).  Parents wishing their children to benefit from the provision at Glendinning Academy should specify this to the Local Authority when their child’s EHCP is being discussed.

For an informal discussion please contact the academy.

Cornwall Referrals

Referrals to ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ are made through the Pupil Support Panel. 

Please contact the academy Senior Administrator to discuss referral at your local academy.

When considering the placement of pupils into an academy, the panel must consider not only the appropriateness of the placement for the pupil referred but also the effect the placement will have on the wider group. The decision of the academy Principal as to the suitability of the placement in their academy will be the determining factor over placement in any particular academy.

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Multi Academy Trust work with the Local Authority regarding Referrals and placements at our Alternative Provision Academies. Please follow this link to  or this link to  Phone number 01872 324298 Email
