Headteacher’s Welcome

It is a privilege to welcome you to Park Aspire AP Academy, part of the Exceed Academies Trust.

At Park Aspire, our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide a safe, inclusive, and aspirational environment where every pupil can thrive — socially, emotionally, and academically. We are proud to offer dedicated provision for pupils who have been permanently excluded or are at risk of permanent exclusion from mainstream school. For many of our young people, Park Aspire represents a new beginning — a place where they can regain confidence, rebuild trust in education, and rediscover their love of learning.

We recognise that every child’s journey is unique. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to support the social, emotional, and mental well-being of all pupils, helping them to improve self-esteem, strengthen resilience, and develop a sense of belonging. We believe that when pupils feel understood, valued, and supported, they can achieve more than they ever thought possible.

Our ethos — “Individually we Aspire, Together we Exceed” — reflects the collective commitment that defines our school. It symbolises the power of belonging and the importance of unity across our community — pupils, families, and staff working together towards shared success.

At Park Aspire, Alternative Provision is not a last resort — it is a place of opportunity and growth. We are committed to ensuring that every pupil leaves us better equipped, more confident, and ready to embrace the future with optimism.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our school. I hope our website gives you a sense of the compassion, consistency, and courage that underpin everything we do. We are incredibly proud of our pupils, our staff, and the difference we make together.
