Ethos & Values

"Learn about our world, care for others and celebrate achievement."

Head Teacher's Message

Welcome to Bluebell Park school website. The school caters for 200 pupils with severe learning difficulties, ASC, profound and multiple learning difficulties, sensory and complex needs. We have a child centred approach and promote individual achievement and independence. We celebrate our pupils’ successes no matter how small or big these may be. Our aim is to support pupils through their journey to adulthood, leaving school as independent as they can be and ready for the next stage of their lives. We work closely with parents to achieve this and adopt a true multi-agency approach with other services including nurses, therapists, social care, positive behaviour and Early Help team amongst others. Our curriculum is designed to support this goal.
