Pupil referral
Peterborough pupil referral service is for children and young people aged 4 to 16 who are not accessing mainstream school for a variety of reasons, including needs best met in a specialist setting. See: Peterborough council
Parents are free to apply to schools outside their home county. After visiting schools of interest and deciding on your preferences, the next step seems to be the admissions process for the county in which you live, e.g. Lincolnshire
