Welcome to Park Community School. In September 2026 we were excited to become an all-through school. Children aged 4 to 16 years are now taught across our school sites. Most Year R to Year 6 activities take place on our primary school site with older students based on our secondary campus. We also have a nursery for 0 to 5 year-olds providing high quality care and early learning opportunities.
We offer a wide variety of lessons and other opportunities to learn; we encourage our young people to discover what they love. As well as the school sites, we have several other facilities to provide a great curriculum and exciting places in which to learn. We think there are a number of important areas of learning while at school and describe these as attainment, resilience and autonomy; exams and qualifications matter in life along with the ability to cope with adversity, getting up when life knocks us down, as well as becoming independent and able to make good choices.
On our main secondary site, we have a wonderful theatre, lecture theatre, restaurant, and outdoor areas, including a floodlit STP (synthetic turf pitch) as well as specialist classrooms for a wide range of subjects. Many areas are used by community groups, other organisations and even for children’s parties outside school time and in the holidays. The Watering Hole restaurant serves award-winning school meals, prepared by our chefs and their catering team, all at affordable prices. Breakfast is available to all students for free each morning, thank you Magic Breakfast.
I hope that the information on this website gives you some idea of our vision and principles, as well as the facilities, and curriculum that we offer to students. It also includes the details of other activities and opportunities such as our print business, construction skills centre and tearoom. Munch and our pantry are initiatives for the wider community. School should be about finding what you love to do, because each of us is different that doesn’t just happen in the classroom; academic learning alongside other activities and lessons helps us to be well-prepared to take the next steps in life. At Park we are proud to be Much More Than Just a School.
