Most of our pupils transition into Mapledown from Oakleigh School and all admissions come via the Complex Needs Panel at Barnet LEA. Various therapies can be available depending on requirements laid out in the Educational Statement and depending on available resources. We have spaces in Learning Zone 2 (ASD). We have an after school provision term time and some holidays. Volunteers may be accepted to work with the pupils.
