The Chelsea Group of Children maintains a maximum of 48 students between the ages of 4 and 11 years.

A child must spend a minimum of two days in the school as a trial, (at no cost to parents or LEA ). The student is integrated into the normal routine to enable the teaching and therapy team to determine how he/she copes in our environment and if the child’s needs can be adequately met at The Chelsea Group of Children.

It is not necessary for a child to have an EHCP from his LEA for admission to Chelsea Group, although 13 different boroughs currently fund the placements of students at CGC.

Careful consideration is given to every application regarding the dynamics of any new groupings a child’s intake would necessitate. Once a child is accepted we are fully committed to the new student as part of our school community.

We do not base our decisions to deny admittance on inappropriate behaviours, which we feel would dissipate when the child has developed confidence and coping strategies to deal with his difficulties.

Upon acceptance of a place at Chelsea Group the parents are asked to complete the Application for Admission Form and all other forms in the parent pack, which will provide valuable information for the child’s profile portfolio.
