The Parks is a small secondary school which is part of Inspire Training and Education. The Inspire Group also provides residential healthcare, supported living and family support. Due to the vulnerable nature of pupils, the school does not have a dedicated website. General information about schools and services is available to parents and carers. Pupils learn in small groups. The school provides specialist education services for up to 14 pupils aged 11 to 16. At the time of the inspection, no pupils were above 16 years of age. All pupils have complex emotional, mental health, social and behavioural needs. All pupils have an education, health and care (EHC) plan. The school does not use any Inspection report: The Parks, 22–24 January 2019 Page 9 of 12 alternative providers. The school does not have a governing body. The headteacher and senior leaders report to the owner of Inspire Training and Education. Local authorities place pupils at The Parks, often following extended periods of disrupted education. In August 2017, the Department for Education (DfE) granted the school’s request for a material change, after which the number of pupils on roll increased from eight to 14. At this time, the school relocated to new premises. Pupils attend a breakfast club at the start of the school day. This is managed by the proprietor.
