Summary

Park School Teaching Service, part of the Bolton Impact Trust, is an alternative provision academy located in Bolton. Catering to a mixed-gender cohort of 12 pupils, the school focuses on providing tailored education for Key Stage 3 and 4 students, particularly those facing challenges in mainstream settings. With a maximum capacity of 30, the school maintains small class sizes to ensure individualised attention and support.

The curriculum at Park School encompasses both academic subjects, including GCSEs in English, Maths, and Science, and a robust pastoral and wellbeing programme. The school offers a flexible timetable that allows students to engage in learning at their own pace, supported by experienced staff and learning mentors. Additionally, the Wellbeing group is designed for the most vulnerable pupils, helping them to overcome barriers to learning.

Park School also extends its support to students admitted to Royal Bolton Hospital, providing education either at bedside or in a dedicated classroom. The school prioritises the social, emotional, and academic needs of its pupils, fostering a nurturing environment that encourages self-belief and the development of essential life skills.
