Leaders have ensured that The Parks has continued to be a caring school that helps children to be the best they can be. Parents and carers say that their children are eager to go to school. Children like being with the teachers and adults who help them. The adults in school know the children very well. They make sure that the work the children do matches their interests. For example, they link stories, and work in mathematics, to the theme of ‘bears’. Adults make sure that they intervene quickly, and successfully, if children begin to get upset or frustrated. This means that children’s behaviour is exemplary. There is never any bullying. The school works hard to keep the children safe. Parents have very high levels of trust that this will happen. Leaders want the children to do well. They want them to have the same opportunities as children have in the adjacent mainstream primary school. Children go on many trips and visits such as a train trip to Melton Mowbray and visit to Whipsnade Park. Children enjoy these opportunities.
