Those Huge Small Victories

Our teachers are fulfilled by the idea of making even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things.

We call these huge small victories and whilst they may seem small on the surface, they add up to make a big difference.

One of the best environments in SEND

The transformational effect of Avon Park School is consistently witnessed by parents, carers and professionals alike. The school's ability to connect and engage with pupils is a result of its strong ethos of high expectations and aspirations for every child - and recently achieved a Good Outstanding rating by Ofsted.

All school staff, including teaching, pastoral and therapy, work in a truly collaborative way to ensure each pupil not only develops academically but also emotionally and personally. This whole school commitment sees pupils with ADHD, ASD, Asperger's or SEMH grow into capable and confident young people who want to succeed.
