The NCSE Parents Notify process is now open for parents/guardians seeking a Special Class or Special School placement for their child for September 2027. 

Parents/guardians are asked to notify the NCSE by 1st September 2026. Supporting professional reports/documents should be submitted by 15th September 2026, or as soon as possible afterwards if they are not yet available. 

Please note that completing Parents Notify is not an application to a school. Parents must still apply directly to their chosen school(s).
