Entry information

Bere Clinic School provides education to young people admitted to Bere Clinic’s specialist eating-disorder hospital. The operator’s current admissions policy says a young person may be admitted through a local-authority-funded or private arrangement, and is placed on the school register only when the hospital Responsible Clinician agrees they are medically able to access education. Admissions can occur throughout the year.

Entry stage: On-site inpatient education (KS3 through A-level)

The admissions process

  • Young person is admitted to Bere Clinic through the clinical referral process
  • Local authority or private arrangement agrees funding
  • Hospital Responsible Clinician agrees the young person is medically able to access the on-site school
  • School works with the home school/college to continue chosen subjects where possible
