*The SEN hubs are relatively small provisions located across Shropshire. Many don’t have a specific designation of ‘need’ and are flexible with their admissions criteria. However, it's very important to consider the ‘mix’ of students placed within them to ensure that there's a suitable cohort of children who can thrive as a group. Placements are therefore very much considered on an individualised basis in partnership with the SEN Team.
