The Board of Trustees for The Oaks Specialist College has delegated the responsibility and accountability for all learner admissions to the leadership and management of the College.

If you have achieved a Grade 2 or lower in GCSE Maths or English, then The Oaks may be able to tailor a learning programme for you.

Learners must also have a current Education, Health and Care Plan.

The key principle is that each of our learners are unique individuals.

There are no other fixed or overarching admissions criteria – the leadership and staff of the College make decisions based upon their assessment of the College’s ability to meet individual needs. This is balanced against the needs of all learners in the College, and the likelihood of the College offer enabling learners to learn and to make educational and personal progress that is of significant benefit to the learner and to wider society.

The decision of the College leaders is final and there is no right of appeal.
