Fen Park, Lincolnshire’s newest specialist SEND school, is now open and is accepting admissions. 🏫
Built in response to the growing need for SEND provision within Lincolnshire, Fen Park is a small and friendly school, which is able to take 24 students from 10 – 17 years.
Headteacher, Craig Prestidge, is delighted with their new school. “We are here with one goal in mind: to improve the life chances of young people who have previously struggled in a mainstream setting,” he says. “Although we fully appreciate that the SEND provision at a mainstream school can often be the best solution for a young person, our experience has shown us – time and again – that there are students for whom a placement at a specialist school, like ours, is unmatched.”
In common with other Compass schools, Fen Park uses a therapeutic approach, centred around the needs of the individual child. Children at Compass schools often have wide ranging SEND needs – which need to be properly addressed, before effective academic learning can take place. Compass believe their therapeutic approach is a major reason why they have been able to put so many young people back on a path to success.
A combination of specialist SEND staff and small class sizes (never more than six) are designed to ensure that learners’ needs are responded to without delay – promoting trust and encouraging the learning process to flourish.
“We understand that it is a privilege to be entrusted with the futures of our young people,” Craig explains. “Compass Schools have consistently proven more than equal to that task – Fen Park, I promise you, will be no exception.”
Compass Community would like to wish the very best of luck to Craig and his dedicated team. ⭐🎉
