School Description

Pupils enjoy attending Park View School. They feel valued and safe. Staff have an exceptional understanding of every pupil’s needs. They nurture caring and supportive relationships with pupils. These relationships continue once pupils have left school. For example, some former pupils ask for help to fill in job application forms. One pupil echoed the view of many other pupils: ‘Teachers do not treat the job just as a job, they care and they are not teaching us for their monthly wage, but for our futures.’ Leaders have high expectations for all pupils both emotionally and academically. They meticulously plan support for pupils to ensure that they have the skills and knowledge to be independent and successful learners throughout school and when they leave. Pupils respond positively to the support that they receive from welltrained and knowledgeable staff. Pupils behave well in the classroom and around the school. Bullying is not tolerated by the staff or pupils themselves. Pupils develop their confidence and resilience during their time at school. Leaders ensure pupils experience a rich and relevant curriculum that meets their needs. This includes a range of opportunities that extend beyond the classroom. Pupils who attend the vocational centre regain their love of learning. They learn skills such as motor mechanics, bricklaying and welding. This prepares them for their next steps in education and employment.
