All pupils admitted to Nethergate Academy must have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). This is issued by their local authority.

The placing authority for pupils attending Nethergate Academy is Nottingham City Local Authority (LA) who will name the Academy on the pupil’s Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP). A provision panel with a multi-professional membership considers and advises the LA on suitability for a placement in our special school.

Places are funded by Nottingham City Council. Places at Nethergate Academy may also be commissioned by other surrounding local authorities. Nottingham City Council manage this process.

Admission arrangements are through consultation between Nottingham City LA and the academy. Places will usually be taken up at the start of the academic year. However, if a place is available, it may be taken up at any time of year.
