Hilden Park School (Witherslack Group)

Hilden Park School is an independent specialist day school providing high-quality education. Based in West Kent, the school meets the needs of a diverse group of pupils who have a range of complex educational needs, communication difficulties and challenging behaviours.

We are committed to giving our pupils a creative, caring and innovative learning environment for them to achieve their full potential in their education and social communication.

We are dedicated to providing:

• An environment that promotes confidence, self-esteem, independence, self-discipline, and respect for pupils.

• A wide range of personal development opportunities that lead to the highest quality social, emotional, and academic outcomes.

• Strong links between home, school and the wider community to support the learning of pupils and ensure that they acquire skills that will be useful to them during their school life and beyond.

We provide young people with unrivalled levels of therapeutic support, both in terms of the expertise and experience of our in-school staff and the wide range of therapies offered.

Our therapeutic approach includes:

• As required, young people have the support of our Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists.

• Our commitment to delivering outstanding therapeutic support to all young people is based on attachment principles. We believe that unless a young person is able to feel emotionally secure, they are less likely to fulfil their personal, social and educational potential.

• Our unique approach to supporting young people allows us to achieve uniquely outstanding outcomes, which in turn enable our young people to go on to realise a future filled with aspiration and achievement.

To raise the aspirations of our young people, our Futures Team has created a unique way to completely support every young person into the future they deserve. We provide our young people with actual job opportunities and unrivalled levels of ongoing support to ensure that their first steps beyond education are successful ones that directly lead to employment. Our Futures Ambassadors Sessions bring employers to our schools, where they speak to young people about their journey to success, giving a real insight into experiences and the diverse opportunities that industries can offer.

We are proud to be part of Witherslack Group, the UK's leading education provider for children and young people with special educational needs, as evidenced by sector leading Ofsted judgements and our unmatched placement stability, school attendance and outcomes for young people.

Our unique integrated team around the child model and inspirational environments are key to our seamless delivery of education, care and therapeutic support. This enables children and young people to thrive in and outside of the classroom and coupled with our sector leading Futures programme, optimises outcomes and future contribution to society.

We don't give up, and by this we are seen as the destination of choice by parents, carers and professionals alike.
