Immensely proud of H’s progress and thank
you to all the staff for the support and kindness they have given H and us as a family
Attendance
We know that when our students show up, they give themselves the best chance to achieve their goals. We’re proud that last year we had an 85% attendance rate, a reflection of our students’ commitment and our team’s dedication. But we’re always striving to do even better. Every absence matters, which is why we follow up daily on non-attendance with calls and texts to parents and carers.
​
Because at the Park College, student success isn’t just an outcome, it’s our passion. We believe that turning up is the first step towards achieving great things.
Thank you so much. L is gaining in confidence and his self esteem is going up

How to Apply
If your child has an EHCP, you can ask us to attend their Annual Review. You will need to speak to the SENCO and/or Careers Advisor at your child’s current provision. They will liaise, on your behalf, with the local authority and a consult will be sent to us to verify if we can meet your child’s needs.
If your child does not have an EHCP, please download an Expression of Interest form below.
As part of the application process, we will often invite learners and their families to come and visit us for a tour of the college. This will help us to understand if we can meet the learner’s needs, to answer any questions, and to allow the learner to see our facilities and think about whether we are a good match for them.
This year, G has thrived at The Park. We are very proud of his achievements. His confidence has improved and he has been more willing to try new things
