Specialist Secondary Schools in Trafford
Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND)
Specialist secondary schools in Trafford cater for a broad range of special educational need:
- Egerton High School - for pupils age 11-16 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties
- Manor Academy and College - for pupils age 11 to 19 with autism, moderate or severe learning difficulties, with overlapping social, emotional and mental health difficulties.
- Brentwood School and Community College - for pupils age 11 to 25 with severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple learning difficulties and autistic spectrum disorder
If your child has an EHC plan, you can make a request for a special school. The local authority must comply with your preference and name the school or college in the EHC plan unless provision there is considered to not meet their needs, not represent good value for money or would impact negatively on the education of others.

Home to school transportAll offers of a new school are made in-line with the Trafford All Age Travel Assistance policy. Any change of special school will require a new travel assistance request to be made. You can find full details of our policy in Home to School Transport.

Naming a school in a new Education Health and Care (EHC) planFollowing an EHC needs assessment if a child is to be issued with an EHC Plan parents are asked their preference through this process and may request a mainstream or special school. Where it is felt special school provision is required, the local authority will aim to keep children and young people as close to their local community as possible.
