We are a federation of schools comprising of The Park Junior School and The Park Infant and Nursery School. We passionately believe that all children, whatever their individual circumstances, should feel valued, included, secure and challenged in all aspects of school life by being at the centre of every action and decision we make.
We strive to enable our children to leave The Park as skilled and well-rounded individuals, who consistently make the right choices and are successfully prepared to make a positive contribution to secondary school and an ever-changing society.
We are a happy family , working together to be the best we can be, with high standards, in combination with set of clear values and principles, forming the backbone of our schools success. Here at The Park, talent is identified, nurtured and celebrated in every child, as we work hard to ensure all our children reach their full potential.
This is because we genuinely believe that all children can achieve anything they put their minds to. With this in mind, we have a rich programme of Music, Sport, Art and Performance running alongside the core subjects.
