Park School for Girls

[EduCativ]

The school is situated in Park Avenue, a mainly residential street off Cranbrook Road, Ilford. It is convenient for road, rail, and Central Line Tube services. At Park School, we are committed to a holistic approach to learning. The staff stresses the importance of the development of each student as a whole person.
We believe that children are entitled to the highest quality education, which enables them to realize their full potential. We are genuinely committed to understanding the individual, and providing the environment and support so that every child can flourish and succeed. This underpins our approach to learning inside and outside the classroom, to pastoral care and personal development, and the way we structure the school and the curriculum.
We are committed to nurturing a love of learning, for this to happen, we believe that learning needs to be active, creative, and enjoyable. Passing examinations is important. However, we want our students to take them in their stride, and value their learning beyond the exam grade. We, therefore, strive to create an environment that allows the children to develop the skills and habits of mind to become well-rounded, emotionally resilient, inquisitive life-long learners well prepared for the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences of future life.
Tolerance, integrity, respect, courtesy, and honesty are interwoven threads of the curriculum. We believe that our students should recognize the value of diversity and alternative views, and learn to be socially responsible 21st Century citizens.
In our school girls are expected to take part in extra-curricular activities such as the School Choir, Drama, Dance, and Musical productions, Sports Competitions (within and outside school), and current school clubs. Educational and cultural visits are paid to places of interest. Occasionally, parties of older girls are taken on visits abroad, usually to France or Spain. Field trips may form part of a senior pupil’s course, particularly in Biology and Geography.
We firmly believe that the process of education, if it is to be of maximum benefit to our pupils, must involve you, the parent. Throughout the year, we provide written reports. Parents’ Evenings are normally held during the Spring Term. On these evenings parents have the opportunity to discuss their daughter’s progress with her teachers. Parents are expected to attend these meetings.
