At Park View we passionately believe all young people can achieve if challenged to do so, that each has in them special qualities, talents and strengths which it is the duty of true educators to develop. It is this moral imperative that drives us, providing an unflinching focus on continued improvement necessary for us to realise our ambition to continually strive to provide the very best educational experience for all in our care.
At Park View School we pride ourselves on the excellent behaviour of our students. We believe they are all fine young individuals and a credit to their generation. Our Behaviour for Learning Policy aims to combine regular rewards, clear boundaries and appropriate sanctions to both make the school a fair and safe place where students are happy and can achieve. The policy is written in accordance with the school’s values and vision and underpinned by our commitment to respect, fairness and social inclusion.
Park View School believes that the best way to challenge disengagement is to provide an effective learning environment in lessons and positive ethos around the school. All members of the community have a role to play in this.
