Referrals from professionals
If you’re a healthcare professional or team looking to make a referral, get in touch with our headteacher today. We accept referrals from:
- Local authority teams

- Residential care homes or fostering services
- Virtual school teams
We’ll work with you at every stage of a student’s education until they’re ready to move into mainstream education, further education or a work placement.
Admissions
We want to make sure every student has the best chance at success. That includes making sure Ashcroft Services are right for them. To help us make an informed decision, we’ll need a few things from you:
- A copy of the Statement of EHCP
- The last AER minutes
- Any other relevant documents
If you have any questions at all, speak to us now so we can support you through your application. We’re on hand to help things go smoothly.

Building opportunities
Are you a school or college interested in alternative education programmes? Get in touch. We can help you offer vocational learning and additional support for your students with complex needs.
Once we’ve had an initial chat, a member of our senior leadership team will become your main point of contact. This person will support and oversee your programme, and provide reports for individual students.
