"Over the last 2 years my child's experiences at New Park Primary have been transformational both for his learning and his overall wellbeing. He has progressed academically, emotionally and behaviourally. For my son these years have been the most positive experience of his academic life and I know this has allowed him to move to high school with the confidence and ability to know he can succeed." "Thank you for all New Park’s support. You are a credit to the school and I believe without my son being at New Park we would have had greater issues." "I can’t praise your staff enough for how they have helped my daughter at school this year. She has come on so much and loves going in." "I truly believe if it hadn’t been for New Park and their great staff, my daughter wouldn’t be as settled, or as sure of herself and her abilities; they have managed her emotionally and taught her to try and see situations from outside the box and deal with the feelings it causes."
Welcome
Welcome to Our School
New Park Academy provides education and support for students aged 8–18 (Years 3–13) with an EHCP, where the primary need is social, emotional, and/or mental health (SEMH).
We offer five key provisions:
- Juniors (Alderbrook PRU site) – A small, nurture-based setting with two classrooms (18 pupils). Students follow a scaffolded national curriculum.
- High School Site – 90 students access a broad curriculum (Entry Level to GCSE). We use a primary-style model, with students mainly staying in their form groups to build security and relationships.
- The Hub (KS3/4) – A smaller provision in Swinton for 14 students who struggle with the main site.
- Post-16 (Salford Youth Zone) – Extends our KS3/4 offer for students not yet ready for college, providing continuity in a supportive setting.
- EOTIS – Bespoke 1:1 programmes (home, gateways, or alternative provision) for students unable to access traditional education.
At New Park, we adapt to meet student needs, fostering positive experiences and removing barriers to learning.
For more details, call 0161 532 3254. Admissions are via the Local Authority SEN Department.
The Sovereign Trust
On June 1st 2018, New Park joined Manor and Pictor Academy as a member of the Sovereign Trust.
The Trust is formed of three special schools, Manor Academy, Pictor Academy and New Park Academy, with the aim of developing a vision and strategic plans for educational needs in Trafford, Salford and surrounding areas. With this collaboration we are able to increase the opportunities for our staff, children and young people. We are able to offer our specialist knowledge to other schools, academies and professional bodies regionally; through advice, consultancy and training.
The Trust will be outward looking to support the needs of SEN learners and providers in the locality and region.
Please find a link to The Sovereign Trust website here.
Vision
We want our children and young people to be the best they can be within an environment which challenges and supports.
We focus upon academic standards but equally important to us is the development of independence skills to enable all to achieve and stand out as valued member of their communities.
