What The Good Schools Guide says..
A textiles studio and a well-equipped photography studio along with adapted equipment – mounted cameras on wheelchairs, easy access buttons - enables students to learn and experiment to their heart's content. For creative souls, this is a fantastic place to be. At the Christmas concert, students were given a lit candle to carry through the audience onto the stage – a huge risk, the music teacher told us, but for them it’s a risk worth taking. Why? Because ...

Special Education Needs
Treloar School provides first class education, therapy, care and independence training for young people with physical disabilities from all over the UK. Students may have a sensory or communication impairment or a learning disability as well as being physically disabled. Academically our range is very broad - we offer the full National Curriculum and GCSEs, ASDAN and modular programmes at Key Stage 4. The majority of our students are wheelchair users. Physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, teaching, care and nursing staff all work together to ensure each child achieves the best they can - in all aspects of life. Developing independence - of thought and action - is at the heart of what we do. We work to enable young people and equip them for the life they want. Our medical centre is staffed 24 hours a day and handles routine in-patient requirements, post-operative care and medical care and support for young people with life-limiting conditions such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Interpreting catchment maps
The maps show in colour where the pupils at a school came from*. Red = most pupils to Blue = fewest.
Where the map is not coloured we have no record in the previous three years of any pupils being admitted from that location based on the options chosen.
For help and explanation of our catchment maps see: Catchment maps explained
Further reading
If there are more applicants to a school than it has places for, who gets in is determined by which applicants best fulfil the admissions criteria.
Admissions criteria are often complicated, and may change from year to year. The best source of information is usually the relevant local authority website, but once you have set your sights on a school it is a good idea to ask them how they see things panning out for the year that you are interested in.
Many schools admit children based on distance from the school or a fixed catchment area. For such schools, the cut-off distance will vary from year to year, especially if the school give priority to siblings, and the pattern will be of a central core with outliers (who will mostly be siblings). Schools that admit on the basis of academic or religious selection will have a much more scattered pattern.
*The coloured areas outlined in black are Census Output Areas. These are made up of a group of neighbouring postcodes, which accounts for their odd shapes. These provide an indication, but not a precise map, of the school’s catchment: always refer to local authority and school websites for precise information.
The 'hotter' the colour the more children have been admitted.
