About The Park School
The Park School is a mixed Special School for students aged 11 to 16 with EHCPs for Learning and Additional Needs, drawing students from a wide range of socio-economic groups and from a wide radius. We have the same expectations as a mainstream secondary school and offer a secondary curriculum model. Our focus is very much on outcomes at 16, aiming to equip our students with the best academic and social and emotional foundations for adulthood. The staff team are committed to providing a vibrant, supportive, and purposeful atmosphere within a safe environment in which all our students thrive. We offer a rich, creative, and personalised curriculum that meets individual needs, enabling students to fulfil their potential.
We are part of Weydon Multi Academy Trust, a dynamic, forward thinking and innovative Trust. We are currently seven schools - three special schools and four secondaries. There are regular opportunities for collaborative working, CPD and the sharing of expertise between staff across the schools.
As a trust our vision is that we are stronger together, our intention is to transform lives, and we create memories which are celebrated for a lifetime. Our focus is on people; the adults and students that form the school and trust community.
