About our school

We are a School for Specific Purpose (SSP) that provides an educational alternative for seventy students from the ages of six to seventeen years who have a mild level of intellectual deficit together with high support needs due to severe emotional or behavioural disorders and learning difficulties. Glenfield Park School provides intensive behavioural and social development to students with specific academic and emotional needs, empowering students to participate in and become valued members of society.

The aim at Glenfield Park is three fold:

• To provide each student with the skills and knowledge which will enable him or her to be included successfully in mainstream schools or support class settings.
• Provide appropriate intensive academic programs to allow each student to reach his or her potential.
• Enable the student to learn the skills necessary to function effectively at home and within society.

Our classrooms are set up to meet each student’s needs. We make sure students feel safe, respected and ready to learn in a way that suits them. Our staff are caring and are skilled to help students feel confident, connected and proud of who they are.
