make a referral parent
Placements at the National Online School are primarily funded by local authorities through an EHCP. While an EHCP is not required, alternative funding would be needed. The National Online School supports young people for various reasons, including:
- Waiting for a school or college placement
- Unable to access local school due to anxiety or EBSA
- Anxiety worsened by the pandemic, preventing school attendance
- SEND students not receiving adequate support (ASC, SEMH)
- Excluded from or moved out of their school
- Self-excluded due to unmet needs
How to make a referral (with an EHCP):
Contact your SEND Case Worker/EHCP Coordinator and ask them to send a consultation to NOSreferrals@tces.org.uk. You can also share this page.
Join us at our next open event to explore our offer further. We’re here to answer any questions you may have.
Discuss your school preference with your SEND Case Worker/EHCP Coordinator and wait for confirmation on whether the LA can consult with the school.
Alternatively, you can submit a referral below using our secure form.
How to make a referral (without an EHCP):
Contact your local authority.
Connect with Parent Support Groups.
Seek independent legal advice.

PRIVATELY FUNDED PLACEMENTS
Placements at the National Online School can be privately funded, although this is rare. These placements are treated the same as those funded by local authorities, and the same referral process applies. The referrer would be considered the party funding the placement.
If you’d like to discuss privately funding a placement, feel free to book a free call or complete the referral form below.
