The first step to your child’s placement in a Special School or Special Class in 2026

Oct 16, 2025

Are you looking for a place for your child in an autism class or special school for September 2026? The NCSE has a specific system and form called Parents Notify to let them know.

The NCSE will review the information after you submit the form. If the reports meet the criteria, you will receive an eligibility letter, which is required when applying for a placement in a Special Class or Special School. If you already have an eligibility letter, you do not need to complete the form. Contact your special educational needs organiser (SENO) to receive an updated eligibility letter. If you are unsure whether you need to complete the form, contact your local SENO.

Deadline: 1 October 2025
