About Parkview Academy
Empowering Success Through Holistic and Individualised Learning
Parkview Academy is an Independent Special Needs School for young people aged between 6 and 19 with an Education Health Care Plan. We are Ofsted registered and cater to 50 young people who have struggled in mainstream education due to their special educational needs.
Our unique selling point is that we offer small classes or one-to-one learning where the curriculum is tailored to the needs of the individual. We also recognise the importance of building up routines, relationships, respect, and trust to achieve successful teaching and learning.
The school is based on Park View Road, opposite Welling United Football Club. We are also very close to Danson Park and Crook Log Leisure Centre which the school uses to provide a range of sports and recreation activities. The school benefits from several unique learning spaces. Downstairs we have our Life Skills Suite and sixth form area. Upstairs the school is separated into key stages along with having a drama studio, practical kitchen space, library, and media suite where learners have the opportunity to learn DJ and digital music skills as well as contribute towards the school’s radio station.
Parkview Academy ensures that all learners work towards a Foundation Learning Curriculum. This ensures that each individualised timetable includes as a minimum core skills in English, maths and ICT, Vocational Learning, and Personal and Social development.
