If your child is on the Education Other Than At School "EOTAS" packages for Elective Home Education, they are eligible to attend up to 16 hours per week during school terms and hours at our centre. However, if your child is enrolled in a school, we recommend speaking to your child's school SENCo for further guidance and coordination as they could fund for your child to attend HOPECFI. HOPECFI cannot be named in your child's EHCP. However, your child's school can ask for a review of your child's EHCP at any time to reflect attendance to HOPECFI if they believe that it could benefit them.

If your child is enrolled in a school but is on a reduced timetable, not attending due to school resource shortages, illness, behaviour, or other needs, please speak to your child's SENCo for support and guidance.

Parents who register privately may be eligible to receive Local Authority and government assistance towards their fees if they are working or studying or if their child has an EHCP and they have the EOTAS packages. If your child is involve with a professional such as the SENIT, you can also speak to them for guidance on how to secure funding for HOPECFI.
