Admissions
Yarrow Heights is a specialist setting, so admissions are better understood as a suitability and support process than as mainstream school selection. Families typically begin with an enquiry, after which the school can consider whether its therapeutic and specialist provision matches the young person's needs.
Scholarships
Yarrow Heights does not run a conventional scholarship or bursary model. What matters here is whether the school can provide the right specialist teaching, therapeutic support and carefully structured environment for pupils whose needs cannot be met in mainstream settings.
