Specialist facilities
A broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum, including a modified National Curriculum, relevant to the needs of pupils with Asperger’s Syndrome (AS). We use teaching, residential and leisure situations as learning opportunities.
Support services provided
Each pupil has the support of a key worker who ensures that individual needs are being met. Pupils have access to a range of specialist therapies including SALT, counselling, art therapy and psychologist and psychiatric support. Flexible programmes are available, tailored to meet the individual’s need, including full and weekly boarding, respite and extended day options.
Education
A highly trained and dedicated staff team aim for academic achievement and development of social and communication skills, giving pupils increased confidence, independence and organisational skills. Pupils have individual educational plans (IEP’s) tailored to meet their specific needs and designed to maximise their strengths and ambitions. We expect pupils to achieve success in GCSEs and other accredited qualifications.
Extended day
An extended day running from 8am-8pm is available for those day pupils who benefit from more support beyond the normal school day. Activities focus on independence and social skills training. This extended support enables many children to live at home with their families where residential schooling may otherwise be the only option.
General environment
Set in 44 acres of picturesque countryside, the school offers a safe and spacious environment in which to learn and grow. It includes specialist classrooms for subjects such as IT, home economics, science and music. Sports and leisure facilities include outdoor hard and soft playing areas and an indoor swimming pool and gym.
Aims and philosophy
Unsted Park School provides a pathway to independence, empowering pupils to manage everyday life scenarios safely and appropriately. There is emphasis on independent living skills, training and work experience. Typically young people will go on to further education, training and employment.
