Park House School: we learn together from 9.15am to 3.15pm

​

From sporting activities and cooking classes to Maths, Science and English tuition, Park House School structures its day around your child’s individual curriculum and offers every opportunity for group activities.

 

1-to-1 Learning ‘til Lunchtime’

​

Children with social interaction and communication difficulties can struggle with learning in a group setting. That’s why we start the school day with 1-to-1 lessons. Our full-time key-workers can offer pupils relaxed learning and social interaction.

Adults and pupils spread out across a collection of relaxed and well-equipped classrooms. A high ratio of staff to pupils helps give pupils the support they need to progress towards success, in school, and to feel safe and supported during off-site visits.

​

We have Specialist Teachers for many subjects

​

• Pre-National Curriculum level lessons

• Essential pre-learning skills of attention, interaction, communication and imitation

• Within the context of the Literacy, Numeracy and Knowledge of the World

• National Curriculum, P-Scales (pre-NC-level 1) and Foundation Stage Curriculum Subjects

• Core GCSE subjects

​

Lunch and Snack Time

​

Free time is a chance to practice life skills, such as washing, changing and eating as a school community. Due to each child's individul needs all pupils bring in pack lunches from home.

​

Afternoon Activities

​

Pupils can spend their afternoons developing important life and social skills by leaving school and enjoying local facilities. Afternoons are set aside for swimming, walking, horse-riding, sailing, rowing, cycling, using the shops and visiting museums or community facilities, all with adult supervision.

​

Building Social Skills

​

As a small school, it’s important for us to spend time socialising in our local community. This involves:

​

• Opportunities to mix with lots of other young people

• Bus journeys or local outings, to help develop community living skills

• Spending time with other youngsters of similar developmental and biological ages
