Admissions
Admission to Ancora House School Community Site
Medical Needs
Referral for a Medical Needs intervention is via a referral process. The community site caters for young people from the Cheshire West and Chester local authority who are not able to attend their home school because of a medical need. All referrals to the Medical Education Team must come directly from the child’s school, using the Medical Education Referral Form. Schools fill in Part A and this must be supported by medical evidence from one of the following health professionals:
- consultant paediatrician or adolescent psychiatrist
- consultant child psychiatrist
- hospital consultant
Please note: Supporting evidence from a General Practitioner alone cannot be accepted. The health professional will need to complete Part B of the referral form and return it to the referring school.
Referrals should be directed to:
- By email: [email protected]
- By post: Education Access and Alternative Provision, Tarvin Centre, Meadow Close, Tarvin, Chester, CH3 8LY
- Telephone: 01244 976261
