Initial Information About The Collett School
You are welcome to visit our school on one of our monthly Open Mornings. However, due to restricted numbers it is vital that you book with us. Please call 01442 398988 or email admin@collett.herts.scgh.uk to reserve your place. We ask that in the first instance you do not bring your child with you as our tours are for adults only.
Admissions Process
The Collett School is a Special Educational Needs School for children with Learning Disabilities. The Collett School is not its own admissions authority - only children with an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) are placed here by Hertfordshire Local Authority Special Needs (SN) Team. Our children are aged 4-16 and have complex needs including Moderate Learning Disabilities, Speech and Language Communication Disorders and Autism. Entry to the school can be at any age and pupils join our school from neighbouring counties.
