ADMISSIONS A young person can be referred directly to Rowden House School or alternatively through the SENAD Group Head Office. The Registered Manager and Head of Learning will coordinate the referral and assessment process; they will be the referrers point of contact. We ask the referrer to complete a referral information form and attach any further information they think may be of relevance to assess the young person’s needs in line with our Statement of Purpose. Families are welcomed and invited to visit at any time throughout the admission process. An initial assessment will be conducted by Rowden House to ensure we are able to meet the young person’s needs in line with the assessment and recording framework. We will arrange with the referring authority to assess the young person by conducting observations in familiar environments. This may include education, care, respite and their family home. Residential assessments can be arranged and offered on request. Placements can be 38 to 52-week packages for both males and females aged between 11 and 18 years. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept emergency or respite placements. Rowden House School is registered for education for KS3 to Post 16. For pre KS3 admission a suitable off site education provision will need to be in place. The School’s multi-disciplinary team will be actively involved in the referral assessment. Assessment reports are produced which are then used by staff to plan the agreed admission and subsequent care plan and education programme. At any stage within the referral and assessment process, we may request a professionals meeting with the referral authority. The authority will be provided with the outcome of the assessment. We aim to complete this process within twenty-eight days of the first visit.
