THE GROVE CONSULTATION – WE WANT YOUR VIEWS

Dear Parents, Carers and Stakeholders,

We are writing to inform you that it is our intention to increase the planned admissions number at the Grove from 125 to 155 due to the increasing demand within Haringey for places for children and young people with a diagnosis of autism.

Our rationale for increasing the planned admissions number (PAN) from 125 to 155 is to build on the growth and success of The Grove to date, brining the PAN in line with the school’s capacity and in line with ongoing commitments to:
• Meet the local deficit in places for a broad range of children on the autistic spectrum.
• Respond to the demand and support from local parents, the local authority and local schools.
• Extend 6th form provision and build on the success of The Grove

The consultation runs for just over three weeks from Tuesday 11th November to Tuesday 2nd December 2025. Please make sure we receive your comments and completed questionnaires by 5pm on Tuesday 2nd December 2025.

Parents, carers and stakeholders are warmly invited to join us for an informal Zoom session on one of the following dates;
