WELCOME TO 

PARK HOUSE SCHOOL

At Park House School, we have built our ethos on a strong set of core values which underpin everything that we do - Work Hard, Be Kind, Take responsibility. Our aim is to give students at Park House School a better chance of success than if they attended any other school in the country.

We are based in Newbury in Berkshire which in itself is in a beautiful area of the country and provides good access to Oxford and London. The area we serve is diverse, and therefore our catchment and students offer a range of expectations and challenges, being able to drive ambitions is key. Our ambition for our students to have the best chance of success is central to our drive and vision. This is best evidenced by our incredible results in the summer exams of 2023 and 2024. Whilst the nation's results plummeted back to pre-pandemic levels, Park House has had two years of significant improvements and in 2024 attained their best results ever at both GCSE and A-Level. Furthermore, the school has attained the highest grades at both GCSE and A-Level in West Berkshire. Progress 8 is again well above the national average this year at +0.6. Working hard, Being Kind, and Taking responsibility underpin the standards that all staff and students work to meet every day, and run through all aspects of school life.

Work Hard

We all strive to work hard, and have a strong desire and determination to achieve success. We believe there are no limits to what can be achieved. We do what it takes for as long as it takes. In other words, we go for it every day, and ensure that every minute of every lesson counts!

Be Kind

We endeavour to remain polite and courteous to each other at all times, in all aspects of school life. Kindness is vital to ensure we create a friendly working environment for both staff and students, and to maintain a sense of togetherness and joy within the school at all times.

Take Responsibility

Taking responsibility involves understanding the obligation to fulfill duties, make good choices, and accept accountability for actions. We foster responsibility by teaching students to take ownership of their learning, be independent, and understand the impact of their choices on themselves and others.
