Due to the volume of referrals and the length of the current waiting list, a decision has been made that Portage will no longer accept any referrals for children due to start school in 2023 or 2024. Any received will be returned to the sender.

Please note that if a child has met the criteria to be referred to Portage then notifying Early Years Panel is strongly recommended.   

If you would like more information, contact the Team Leaders - Penny Ball or Sharon Ensor: penny.ball@portsmouthcc.gov.uk/sharon.ensor@portsmouthcc.gov.uk. Alternatively please discuss with Dr Caoimhe Weeks, Inclusion Services Manager for E.P/Portage/Vi/Hi teams: Caoimhe.Weeks@portsmouthcc.gov.uk.
