Venn Boulevard Centre – Admissions

Pupils can be referred to our setting from:

  • Secondary FAP meetings, a meeting where representatives from all the Secondary Schools and the LA find the most suitable provision for students for various reasons including those educated at home.
  • Other alterative settings, if the provision at the Boulevard setting centre suits the individual’s needs.
  • Enquiries made to the local authority for an alternative provision.
  • In addition to these formal methods of referral, other schools and families themselves are welcome to contact the school for further advice.

For further information please contact the Head of school, Sarah Sargieson, 01482 585203 or email directly to sarah.sargieson@vennacademy.org
