Clubs
Park Grove is described as an inclusive school that provides for pupils with SEND within a mainstream setting. The Inclusion Team oversees SEND provision, with a graduated approach beginning with high quality first teaching. Children who need additional support may receive targeted interventions and, if appropriate, a My Support Plan or Pupil Passport to document and monitor progress. If concerns persist, an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) may be considered in coordination with the local authority. Park Grove works with external agencies such as educational psychology services, CAMHS, speech and language services, City of York council specialist teaching teams, wellbeing workers, physiotherapists and occupational therapists, as well as Wellbeing in Mind Team. The school offers extra-curricular activities for SEND pupils and emphasises parental involvement, transition planning, and safeguarding.
Park Grove follows City of York Council co-ordinated admissions procedures for Reception intake and in-year admissions. The Published Admissions Number is 40. Open evenings are held each Autumn for families of children due to start in September. Applications for Reception are made to the home local authority, and in-year applications are coordinated by the Local Authority with guidance and forms available through York’s admission processes. Information is provided about applying through the Local Authority and relevant policies for SEND/admission criteria; details on EHCP admissions are given in the Local Offer context.
