Admissions

The Triple Crown Centre is a Pupil Referral Unit that provides a temporary, short-term intervention for students who are unable to attend their full-time educational provision due to medical needs. The centre supports students aged 11–16 across Solihull, helping them to re-engage with learning and develop the confidence and resilience needed to return to an appropriate educational setting.

Students may be admitted to the Triple Crown Centre at any point during the academic year through a referral process. Referrals are made by the student’s current school to Solihull’s Single Panel. Schools must also ensure that appropriate supporting medical evidence is completed when requesting a placement.

All placements at the Triple Crown Centre are full-time. Placements typically last between 12 and 20 weeks, depending on individual needs. Student progress is regularly reviewed in collaboration with families and the home school to support successful reintegration into mainstream education as soon as appropriate.

If the Panel refers a student to the Triple Crown Centre, an initial visit and meeting will be arranged to discuss the placement. This ensures the provision is suitable and that clear outcomes for the placement are agreed.

The Single Panel meets fortnightly to consider new referrals. All referrals should be sent directly to: APSinglepanel@solihull.gov.uk . Where medical provision is required, a completed referral form, the TCC Medical Evidence form, and any additional supporting documentation must be submitted.
