Your Child’s Learning Profile & Developmental Information

In this section, you can tell us about any medical, emotional or behavioural issues that have arisen since you registered your child, as well as further information regarding your child’s development. These questions are designed to allow us to have an informed discussion with you about how we can best meet your child’s needs, as well as help in providing a bespoke environment for each of our pupils. This section also ensures we have the most up to date and accurate information about your child’s learning profile. This is important as many of our prospective families register their child at birth, meaning many important developments have taken place since they were last in touch with Devonshire House.

If we can accommodate your child’s needs, we will, but we require you to be open, honest, and as detailed as possible when answering these questions so we can collectively ensure that Devonshire House is the right environment for your child.

As a result, please share as much information as possible when answering these questions, including, but not limited to:

Any diagnosed or pre-existing additional support and learning requirements
Any diagnosed or pre-existing medical conditions
Any undiagnosed, pending, or suspected additional support and learning requirements (both medical and from your child’s current nursery/school setting)
Any undiagnosed, pending, or suspected medical conditions.

Please attach any medical reports, assessments, Education, Health & Care Plans (EHCP), and other reports in the relevant section below. This includes any draft documents where final documentation is not yet available. Once final documentation has been received, please email this to admissions@dhprep.co.uk.

Please note that failure to provide or withholding full details / documentation relating to any of the below may result in your child’s offer or place being cancelled, or once your child has started, for their place to be withdrawn, without further charge if in the professional judgement of the Head and Head of Learning Support, the School is unable to provide adequately for your child’s special educational needs.
