• Be in the age range of 4-11 years; national curriculum years R to 6.
• Show attainment within the national curriculum that is outside the range within most children are

   expected to work (i.e. P levels at the end of Key Stage 1; level 1 at the end of Key Stage 2).
• Show performance on measures of attainment and underlying cognitive skills which place the child in

   the lowest attaining one or two per cent of the population.
• Show attainments in underlying skills (especially speech and language, literacy and numeracy)

   which significantly interfere with the child’s ability to learn effectively.

• National standards as monitored through Ofsted Inspections which are available on the school’s website.
