Meeting Special NeedsParklands School This school caters for Pre-school age children with special educational needs. The aim is to assess the child’s abilities and needs and to begin to address those needs. As the child reaches school age a comprehensive assessment is completed and a recommendation is made for an appropriate first school placement. Facilities include a hydrotherapy pool, soft play environment, outdoor play equipment and a wide range of specialist equipment. There is a parent staff association and a respite care scheme. The respite care scheme is currently being extended with a dedicated off-site facility to provide better residential and sleeping accommodation |
