Admissions

Admissions to Walton Leigh School are handled directly through the Surrey County Council SEN Department Area offices.

You should contact them in the first instance. The North East Area Education team cover our catchment area of Spelthorne, Elmbridge, and Epsom and Ewell and can be contacted on 01737 737940. If you live outside of the local area please contact the following teams:

•  South East team (Mole Valley, Reigate & Banstead, Tandridge) 01737 737990
•  South West team (Guildford, Waverley) 01483 517890
•  North West team (Runnymede, Surrey Heath, Woking) 01483 518110

The Area Office will allocate a Case Officer and send formal papers to the school. The school then arranges for a formal visit, often allowing time in class for your son or daughter, and then responds to the Area Office as to whether we can meet their Special Educational Needs and whether we have a space within that class group. It is then the Local Authority, not the school that offers the place to you.

All families are welcome to visit the school informally to meet the staff, assess how you feel about what we are working to achieve and see our facilities. Please phone the school office to book an appointment if you wish to visit. 

Please refer to the Surrey County Council website for more information on their policy and practice regarding Special Education.
