Special Education Needs
St Elizabeth’s Centre is set in 68 acres of parkland estate twenty minutes from Stansted airport with excellent transport links. It consists of a school, a college and an adult home providing continuity of provision, access to highly trained staff, purpose built facilities and a variety of appropriate learning and recreational opportunities. All buildings are single-storey and fully ramped. A new multi-million pound Post 16-19 Living and Learning Complex is due to open shortly. Within school every pupil is uniquely valuable. Their strengths and challenges are assessed and monitored within the Essential Skills Framework. Groups are small, most with 1:1 support, allowing young people to follow an individualized and differentiated learning programme with access to the National Curriculum and Post 16 Framework. Individual Learning Plans are augmented and enhanced by a range of therapies. Our multi disciplinary team works with pupils and their families to devise a living and learning programme that takes into account interests and aspirations allowing pupils to take greater control of their lives. The core curriculum is in the context of life skills and promotes confidence and competence in daily living. Within the campus three Social Enterprises operate, they provide structured and supported work related placements. Achievement is celebrated throughout the year and progress is accredited in different ways.

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.
