View schoolCommon questions about North London specialist schools
How should North London parents compare specialist schools?
Compare need type, age range, EHCP route, therapy input, safeguarding, inspection history, travel and whether the setting can deliver the provision in the EHCP.
Do children need an EHCP for specialist schools?
Most specialist school placements depend on an EHCP and local authority consultation. Some independent settings accept direct enquiries, but funding and admissions still need careful checking.
What should parents ask before visiting?
Ask about class size, therapy, behaviour support, safeguarding, transport, inspection reports, admissions criteria and current place availability.
Are specialist colleges different from specialist schools?
Yes. Specialist colleges usually support post-16 or post-19 learners with independence, communication, life skills, vocational pathways and preparing for adulthood.
