Welcome to Park House School
An "Excellent" School - Independent Schools Inspectorate February 2023
Our Vision
To use an individualised and community approach to provide outstanding therapeutic and educational input in a day school setting. This approach allow our pupil’s and their families to maintain positive relationships and results in successful outcomes for adult life.
Our Mission
To help young people who have special educational needs related to their social interaction and communication differences (typically found in autistic children) and who may, additionally, have specific learning difficulties, achieve amazing things.
Our Values
With every action and in everything we do we use the following values to guide our actions and behaviour.
- Respect - We listen to, support and value differences in beliefs and opinions in non-judgemental ways.
- Compassion - We acknowledge others feelings; act with kindness, consideration, understanding and empathy; and work to help everyone achieve their best.
- Person-Centred - We adapt our approach to the specific needs of our pupils and put their needs at the forefront of everything we do.
- Teamwork - Everyday, we 'turn up' and be present to work together to ensure we provide the best outcomes for our community of pupils, families and colleagues.
A Therapeutic Day School
Our nurturing and therapeutic approach is designed to help students achieve their educational potential, build self-esteem and manage anxiety, thanks to:
- Specialists in psychology, speech and language therapy and occupational therapy working alongside teachers and accessible to all students
- Classes in functional daily living skills to help make the world less confusing
- Individual learning plans that extend to GCSEs
- Close bonds with parents/carers including frequent home visits
17 Years and Counting
We welcomed our first student in 2005 and we have grown into a small and successful school community open to:
- Girls and boys from the age of 6 to 19, of all abilities
- Students with a diagnosis of autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
- Youngsters who would benefit from additional adult support
