Admissions

Springwood Primary School > About Us > Admissions

Admissions

Springwood Primary School is a special academy within The LINK Education Trust.

Pupils are admitted through the Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) process. Placements are made by Salford City Council following consultation with the school and in accordance with the Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Code of Practice.

Applying for a Place

Parents wishing to discuss a placement at the school should contact the Salford SEND Team in the first instance.

A place at the school is normally allocated where the school is named in a child’s Education, Health and Care Plan.

Further Information

Admission Appeals

Admission decisions relating to an Education, Health and Care Plan are subject to the statutory SEND appeals process.

Visitor Sessions

We hold regular visitor sessions, throughout the year, at our Swinton Site for parents/carers who are thinking about Springwood as a possible placement for their child. 

These information sharing sessions aim to give an overview of Springwood Primary School, our vision and values, the pupils we cater for and the learning opportunities and curriculum we offer. You will also have an opportunity to discuss any school-based queries.
