Admissions

My name is Rachael Innes and I am the Transitions Lead for the UET Pathfinder Douglas Bader Academy. I coordinate the admissions of students to the UET Pathfinder Douglas Bader Academy and oversee the reintegration of secondary students back into mainstream schools. It will be a member of my team who will make the first contact with any secondary new starters to guide parents and students through the admissions process. We will work hard with any secondary student who is able to return to mainstream school to secure a trial placement and support them to be successful.

The team are also best placed to advise on what other options are available if mainstream is not suitable. The admissions and reintegrations for Primary students are managed by our Primary Teams.

Please contact me by email if you have any queries.

Medical Needs

Some students with medical needs receive their provision from the UET Pathfinder Douglas Bader Academy but remain on roll with their original school and so are not admitted to the UET Pathfinder Douglas Bader Academy.
