At Parkside, we make a real difference by raising the expectations and ambitions of every young person in our care.
We are a school where children are challenged and supported to do their very best and encouraged to develop strong relationships.
We are a school based on a culture of kindness, where education is a holistic experience.
We are an inclusive school where adults believe in the children, and children believe that the adults believe in them.
Why Parkside?
Coaching
Our Coaching programme is at the heart of our school, providing every student with a dedicated adult mentor for ongoing guidance and support. We focus on building a strong school community and fostering a sense of belonging, while also strengthening home-school relationships. Through one-on-one support, our coaches help students with their personal and academic development in a calm and supportive environment.
Part of Wellspring Academy Trust
Wellspring are mission-driven. We are passionate about social justice and committed to improving life chances for all young people. Our family of inclusive schools—including primary, secondary, special, and alternative provision—is united by the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed.
Positive Regard
At our core, we are a community. By using relational practice, we build strong relationships that empower our adults and children to unlock their potential.
Resourced Provision
Our Resourced Provision is a specialist hub within our school community for children with communication and interaction needs. We have a dedicated staff who run our Resourced Provision on the school site.
