Action for Children Parklands Campus provides education for secondary-aged pupils who have behavioural, emotional and learning difficulties. Some pupils have additional needs associated with an autistic spectrum condition and communication difficulties. All pupils have either a statement of special educational needs or an education, health and care plan. The school is owned by the charity Action for Children, which also runs a home on the site providing residential accommodation for some of the children who attend the school. The school admits pupils from outside the local area. Currently, two local authorities place children at the school. All pupils currently attending the school are boys. Approximately one third of the pupils who attend the school are supported by additional government funding known as the pupil premium. The school provides education for post-16 learners and liaises with Oxford City Vocational College and Synolo business and enterprise centre, to provide additional courses and work-related learning opportunities.
