Thinking about The Lady Byron School for your child?

Here's how the admissions process works...

We know that navigating the EHCP and school placement process can feel confusing, so we've created a simple guide to explain each stage of the journey.

One of the most important things for parents and carers to know is this:

⚠️ If your Local Authority sends us your child's EHCP as part of a consultation, they do not always include your contact details.

This means that even if we are actively considering whether we can offer a place, we may have no way of contacting you to:

* Arrange a visit to one of our schools
* Learn more about your child
* Answer your questions
* Discuss whether we are the right fit for your family

Please don't wait for us to contact you.

💙 If you have asked your Local Authority to consult with The Lady Byron School, or you know they have already sent us your child's EHCP, please get in touch with us directly.

We are always happy to:
✅ Arrange a visit to our Fleckney or Market Harborough sites
✅ Explain our curriculum and therapeutic approach
✅ Discuss your child's individual needs
✅ Answer any questions about the admissions process

Remember, while we carefully consider every consultation we receive, the final decision about school placement is made by your Local Authority, taking into account your preferences, the evidence available, and whether the school can meet your child's needs.

📞 If you're considering The Lady Byron School, we'd love to hear from you.

🌟 Celebration Afternoon 2026 🌟

What a fantastic way to end the school year!

Last week we celebrated the incredible achievements, progress and resilience of our amazing students. We are so proud of everything they have accomplished and it was wonderful to share this special afternoon with our families and staff. 💙

There was plenty to enjoy, including a visit from Wild Science, where students (and some very brave adults!) got up close to an amazing variety of animals. 🐍🦉🕷️

A huge thank you to Little Vegan Pancakes, whose delicious menu was a massive hit... so much so that one of our students managed seven servings! 🥞😄

Families also enjoyed taking part in craft activities, making it a lovely afternoon of celebrating together as one school community.

A heartfelt thank you to all our families for your continued support throughout the year, and to our incredible staff for everything they do to help our young people thrive.

We would also like to thank everyone who gave cards, gifts and kind messages to our staff. Your thoughtfulness means so much. While the gifts are greatly appreciated, the greatest reward for us is seeing our students grow in confidence, overcome challenges and achieve things they never thought possible.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the afternoon so special. We hope you all have a wonderful summer! ☀️

Different Minds. Endless Possibilities. 💙✨

This year has been filled with achievements big and small, personal milestones, new friendships, and countless moments that have reminded us why our school community is so special.

Our students have continued to demonstrate our core values of Belonging, Kindness, and Confidence every single day. Whether supporting one another, overcoming challenges, or celebrating success, they have truly shown what it means to be part of The Lady Byron School family.

To our incredible staff—thank you for your unwavering commitment, compassion, and determination to ensure every young person has the opportunity to thrive.

To our parents and carers—thank you for your trust, encouragement, and partnership. Your support is invaluable, and together we continue to make a real difference in the lives of our young people.

As we head into the summer break, we hope everyone has the opportunity to rest, recharge, and make wonderful memories with family and friends.

What a fantastic way to end the school year! 🌟

Last week at The Lady Byron School was filled with excitement, achievement, and new beginnings.

🎢 A Brilliant Day at Drayton Manor
Our students had an amazing end-of-year trip to Drayton Manor. They showed incredible bravery by stepping outside their comfort zones, tackling new challenges, and embracing every opportunity with enthusiasm. Throughout the day, they demonstrated our values of Confidence, Kindness, and Belonging, supporting one another and celebrating each other's successes. We couldn't be prouder of everything they achieved and hope they have made memories to treasure.

🎨 Messy Movers Day
There were smiles all around during our fantastic Messy Movers Day! Students explored a range of textures and sensory experiences through exciting hands-on activities, with slime making proving to be a firm favourite. Watching everyone investigate, create, and enjoy the different sensory experiences was a wonderful reminder that learning can be fun, engaging, and confidence-building.

🏫 Market Harborough is Ready!
We are also delighted that our new Market Harborough site is now ready to welcome students. It has been wonderful to open our doors to families, giving them the opportunity to explore our new learning environment and meet our dedicated team. Our new students have enjoyed successful transition days, helping them become familiar with the school, build relationships, and begin their journey with confidence ahead of September.

As we reflect on another incredible year, we are so proud of every student for everything they have achieved. They have truly lived our values of Belonging, Kindness, and Confidence, showing us every day that Different Minds, Endless Possibilities is far more than our motto—it is at the heart of everything we do.

⭐ This week, we say goodbye to our amazing Cygnus Group as they move on to the next exciting stage of their educational journey in further education. ⭐

It marks the end of a very special chapter at The Lady Byron School. We are incredibly proud of every one of you and everything you have achieved during your time with us.

You have been such an important part of our school community, contributing in so many ways and embracing our values of Belonging, Kindness and Confidence every single day. You have supported one another, celebrated successes, overcome challenges and shown us all that Different Minds, Endless Possibilities is far more than a motto – it is something you have lived.

As you take your next steps into further education, we wish you every success and happiness. Keep believing in yourselves, embrace every opportunity and never stop striving to achieve your dreams. We know you have bright futures ahead.

💙 To your families, thank you. Thank you for your unwavering support of your young people and of us as a school throughout this journey. It has certainly had its ups and downs, but together we have watched these remarkable young people grow into confident, resilient and capable individuals. We know you will be every bit as proud of them as we are, and it has been a privilege to have shared this journey with you.

We are going to miss you all so much. Please keep in touch—once part of the Lady Byron School family, always part of the Lady Byron School family.

💙 Good luck, Cygnus, your next chapter starts now, and we can't wait to see where it takes you.
