Park School
Special needs catered for
Park School provides highly effective education, therapy, welfare and support for both boys and girls aged from 7 to 18 years who have social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH).
Many of the pupils have other learning needs such as ADHD, some specific learning difficulties, communication and language difficulties, and mild or moderate learning difficulties.
Specialist facilities
The school is purpose built with dedicated on-site facilities as well as established links with the amenities offered in the local area.
Support services provided
The school’s designated team reflects the needs of the children and young people that learn with us, however additional support can also be accessed from other specialists within the wider Clinical Team. This enables us to be responsive to any newly identified, time limited or changing needs of a child or young person throughout their placement with us.
Offering highly specialised screening, assessment, consultation, reflective practice supervision and bespoke training, the embedded Clinical Team work directly with the education team to develop a shared understanding of the child’s presenting needs and difficulties which may act as barriers to their personal and educational development as well as identify areas of strength which can support them to achieve, enjoy and fulfil their aims and wishes.
The clinical team support the education team in developing a pupil centred curriculum which proactively promotes the children and young people’s emotional, social and mental health. We aim to deliver the highest quality provision which maximises each person’s quality of life and personal achievements.
Our evidence informed models are based on best practice guidance and are governed through the Outcomes First Governance Framework.

Aims and philosophy
Park School is committed to increasing the learning opportunities for its pupils.
Our pupils may have experienced failure in education and trauma in their personal lives which often results in low self-esteem. Park School, therefore, endeavours to empower its pupils through successful learning to develop their confidence and self-esteem. We involve the pupils in their learning by listening to their views and considering their choices, especially in the later key stages.
Park School is committed to empowering and inspiring individuals to learn, achieve and succeed, in a bid to help reintegrate them back into mainstream settings, facilitate plans to return home or enable them to progress as individuals in their own home placements and schools.
