We can offer:

• Day time education – up to 30 of our students come in and out every day
• Weekly boarding
• Termly boarding
• 52 week placements

We can also offer respite packages for our students, by arrangement with Devon Social Care.

Our aim in class and residence is to provide a range of learning and care programmes which help children to develop important skills and to grow in confidence as individuals.  Everything we do stems from their individual learning and care needs. 

We have a staff of over 100 people who are all dedicated to making Oaklands Park a wonderful learning and caring environment.  We have teachers, residential care workers, teaching assistants, a speech and language therapist and an occupational therapist.  We have a school nurse, a pastoral support worker, administrative, catering and premises staff, all working on our campus on a daily basis. 

Ofsted have told us that we are a ‘good school’ – for both education and care.  Our most recent Reports were published in February 2012 and can be found in the Parents section of this website. 

The school has excellent facilities on campus as this website will demonstrate.  We have a range of modern residences and classrooms (and some older ones, too!).  On our site we have an indoor swimming pool, sensory rooms, adventure play areas, woods and an allotment, music, art and technology facilities and much else besides.  We have excellent links with local mainstream schools and colleges, and we make full use of the Dawlish Youth Centre (Red Rock) for students during the day and in the evenings.  Children and young people make the most of community based facilities, including horse riding and the donkey sanctuary, leisure centres, cafes, supermarkets and restaurants. 

We are very proud of what we offer and what our young people can achieve.  We aspire to be a happy school where everyone enjoys learning and living.  If you think we can be of help to you, we look forward to hearing from you.
