Park House School
Park House is a thriving 11 - 18 school of over 1,200 students. We are renowned for our arts provision and are lucky to have football and rugby academies. At Park House we are proud to have been recognised as an ‘exceptional school’. A school in which our ‘values-centred ambition for students’ means that:
• commitment to recognising each student’s success is evident in all aspects of school life
• rich and memorable experiences promote students’ good social, moral, spiritual and cultural development
• students’ well being and safety are at the heart of the school
These comments from our June 2016 and 2012 Ofsted Report help to explain why the Minister of State for Education has this year identified us in the top 100 state schools for continuous improvement. They also reflect our students’ fantastic progress and achievement and 'exemplary’ behaviour.
Our emphasis on an innovative, personally tailored curriculum with wide ranging enrichment activities and individual care create a culture of opportunity and achievement for every student throughout the school, whatever their ability or interests. As a result our students are excited by learning, feel valued as individuals and are encouraged throughout their time here to achieve their full potential. They also make a real difference to the lives of others in the local and wider community through their national award winning charity work.
