Welcome to The Park School

 

We are a specialist school with 110 places for students aged 11-16 years old with moderate learning difficulties and additional needs. We are fortunate to be situated in a beautiful site in Woking, surrounded by nature. Our school is part of the Weydon Multi Academy Trust (WMAT), working with other great schools which makes us stronger together. 

At The Park School, we match high levels of ambition with nurture so that our students can flourish. We work in collaboration with our families, therapy teams and other agencies to achieve the best outcomes for each young person. Through a rich and personalised curriculum, we provide an excellent education for every learner. Students access a range of qualifications including GCSEs, BTEC, Entry Levels and ASDAN awards. We bring learning to life by offering an array of trips, visits, and experiences, making good use of our local area and beyond. 

Staff strive to cultivate a calm, purposeful and inclusive environment rooted in mutual respect and positive relationships.  We encourage everyone in our community to follow our three school rules: to be safe, to be kind and to be our best self.  Our philosophy is underpinned by the concept that all behaviour is a means of communication. Staff access continual professional development to enable them to support each individual student effectively. 

Our focus is on long term life outcomes, aiming to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and values they need to reach their unique potential. We foster a growth mindset so that students learn to overcome barriers and challenges. During their time with us, students are well-prepared for life after The Park School through their PSHE and careers programmes, work experience and Year 11 weekly college link programme. We encourage our students to be independent, to self-advocate and to be their authentic selves. We help students to develop the foundations needed to grow into valued members of society, successfully navigate adulthood, and lead a happy and fulfilling lives. 

Thank you for taking the time to look at our website. We are always grateful for feedback on how we can improve so please do contact us. If you would like more information or to visit us, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We look forward to welcoming you to our school.
