dorin park school & specialist sen college
Chester
Dorin Park is a specialist all-age school for children and young people with
physical difficulties, complex moderate learning difficulties, complex medical
needs and general complex needs. Children can be admitted to us at any stage but
most of our entrants arrive in Reception or Year 7 and are usually transferring
to us from mainstream early years settings or mainstream primary schools. Our
learning experience is designed to meets the needs of our students by marrying
excellent personal development opportunities with an appropriate life skills
curriculum and a relevant academic curriculum. Developing communication is a
priority throughout the school. All our students in Seniors are given a Flight
Path for their future development which is reviewed regularly as they move
through the school to ensure they achieve their potential in all areas. Dorin
Park is a school with a real sense of community – we really are a school family
here. We pride ourselves on being a welcoming school with a strong emphasis on
pastoral care alongside a rigorous academic education tailored to the needs of
the individual. We believe in and practise personalised learning to meet the
very different needs of all our students. You can find out more about the
profile of our students on the Our Pupils page. We are a popular choice with
parents, and visitors comment on the lovely calm and purposeful atmosphere
within the school. Prospective parents and students are welcome to visit and
experience the school for themselves if the SEN team at Cheshire West and
Chester has indicated that Dorin Park may be a suitable place for your child –
please see the Admissions page for details of how to arrange a tour.
