Our admissions process

Please refer to the Admissions Policy for further information.

Parents

We offer education to young people aged 5 to 16 with a diagnosis of autism, who have been referred by their local authority.

Our admissions policy has a step-by-step guide to help you through the process of getting your child registered for Thames Valley School. 

We also encourage you to contact us to find out more about what we provide, and to arrange a visit.

Oversubscription criteria

The school will seek to work collaboratively with all neighbouring local authorities to manage referrals. All applicants for whom the school would be able to meet needs and therefore be an appropriate placement, will be placed on a waiting list when there are no current vacancies. Where there are more applicants than vacancies, places will be prioritised according to the admissions criteria which also acts as the oversubscription criteria. Please refer to the admissions policy for further information.
