Referral and availability notes

Do I need the agreement from my child's school to send my child to FSD?

 

Yes, in order for your child to attend FSD you will need to gain agreement between yourself and your child's Head Teacher and therefore it is essential that you have a discussion with your child's school to gain agreement for your child to attend FSD. Pupils attend FSD on a part-time basis registered as 'educated offsite' (Code B) so they keep their place at their mainstream school in order to enjoy a full curriculum. We are happy to advise you on this and are very happy to liaise with schools to ensure partnership working can productively enhance your child’s learning experience.
