Our commitment to developing young people into happy, high achieving and reflective learners is unwavering and we are proud to be a beacon of excellence in one of the world’s most exciting and diverse communities.

Our ethos can be described in three words “Aspire, Achieve, Succeed” and throughout their time at Park View, your child will develop as a ‘Park View Learner’. This is someone who is an independent enquirer, creative thinker, reflective learner, team worker, self-manager and effective participator. We provide a broad and balanced curriculum where academic excellence is strengthened by an equally important love of the arts, music, dance, drama and sport.

Whether your child is a high attaining pupil, passionate about sport or the arts, speaks English as an additional language or has special educational needs, we will ensure that they thrive in a safe and caring learning environment. Park View actively promotes the value of being outstanding citizens and strong British values underpin everything we do.

We are very proud of our school and welcome visitors. If you would like to learn more, please do get in touch via the contact page on our website www.parkview.haringey.sch.uk.

VISION ETHOS

Our enrichment programme comprises of a wide range of extra-curricular activities. These include Saturday schools, sporting, arts and creative clubs, plus pre-school and post-school coursework sessions including a homework club and breakfast club where students can read and enjoy a free breakfast.

Students have the opportunity to enjoy inter-school competitions, educational outings and foreign visits for sporting tours, field trips or to develop language skills. Our students relish special theme days such as the school’s international festival, ‘Parkstock’.

Park View students know that their opinions count. With an elected school council and year councils, many students get the opportunity to participate in the development of Park View. Open to all years, our student leadership programme gives students responsibilities as translators, supervisors, and participants in staff recruitment.

Our house system encourages closer collaboration between students across the school and develops a sense of belonging. Every child and teacher is allocated to one of our four houses: Elm, Oak, Cedar and Maple.

Our vibrant curriculum – including a wide range of GCSE and BTEC courses – is designed to encourage a love of learning in every child. Teachers challenge all our students, setting personalised targets, monitoring progress and providing additional support when required. We actively promote independent learning skills so students are ready for their future.

Our Performing Arts work enables us to use drama, music and dance to build students’ confidence in a way that benefits all areas of learning. Students participate in creative workshops and productions around school and in the community, and we are proud to have achieved the prestigious Artsmark Gold award.

New technologies are used innovatively across the curriculum and our school, demonstrated by retention of the ICT Mark. We also use our managed learning environment (MLE) to promote online learning.

With a strong focus on literacy, our average class size in English is 22. Our specialist teaching staff ensure that students with English as an additional language or with special educational needs participate fully in the life of Park View and make outstanding progress.

All students are encouraged to become “Park View learners”.

We provide a safe learning environment with a firm anti-bullying culture and our staff work hard to make students feel happy, secure and empowered. In return, we demand very high standards in terms of classwork, homework, behaviour, punctuality, attendance and uniform.

Park View inculcates an ethos of respect, which results in a strong sense of community.

The school understands that students’ happiness is the key to achievement in all areas of learning.

Our students benefit from personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education that is taught in both curriculum and tutor time. By exploring topics such as relationships and personal finance, our young people develop the confidence to make positive life choices. We nurture all students with personalised support – from induction for our new year 7s right through to careers and further education guidance for year 11s. Our non-teaching Year Team Deputies are focused on pastoral support and some students have been trained as peer mentors. Students and their families have access to exceptional support services at school.

Internationalism has a strong focus and celebrates the languages spoken in the school. Ofsted 2013
