Welcome
Humberston Park School is an outstanding special school, offering highly-specialist day provision for 3-19 year olds who have complex, severe and profound learning difficulties. Many pupils at the School have additional needs requiring multidimensional physical, sensory and medical interventions.
At Humberston Park School we are forward-thinking, challenging the expected norms so we transform practice and learning. By innovating and creating learning opportunities through a transdisciplinary approach, the pupils thrive, enjoying a friendly, safe and supportive environment, where they can take risks, be creative and expressive whilst learning relevant and meaningful skills through personalised learning.

The power of art in finding your ‘voice’
Using art as a means of non-verbal communication, we decided to trial a whole-school, whole-day art event working with Compass Go colleagues and friends, allowing pupils to communicate emotions, thoughts or feelings where using speech is not an expectation.
Starting with huge sheets of paper (on the floor, on tables, on easels), paint, traditional paintbrushes, balloons & ribbon on sticks, squeegees and sponges, pupils were invited to investigate the materials – and they did that with great intensity and focus.
For those who found the sensory aspects of the wet materials too much, or wanted a quieter space to work, we also set up a dry materials table, with compressed charcoal, oil pastels and paint pens.
By the end of the day, the activities had generated a huge amount of positive energy amongst both pupils and staff. These fabulous, collaborative, emotional pieces of art work are testimony to the powerful ‘voices’ pupils at Humberston Park School have…

“Thank you for being part of my son’s Journey. Thanks for all the help and support over the years! You are all special people and have a big place in our hearts.”
Parent of a School Leaver
My son enjoys going to school. What more can you ask for as a parent?!
He is happy, confident and becoming more independent. He literally skips and runs into school with a smile on his face. He hugs the teacher and teaching assistants, showing huge trust on his part.
He is supported with his emotions and triggers and to express his own individual needs and wants.
He could not sit still when he first started and now he can sit to take an active part in lessons with his peers. I’m so proud of his achievements so far.
The staff are attentive and patient. They are outstanding and a credit to themselves and the school. They are always willing to go the extra mile to help when we have had issues with our son at home, suggesting strategies, and are eager to try new ideas if something doesn’t work first time. We trust the school implicitly to care for our son, to meet his needs and continually strive to help him reach his full potential. It is a fun, safe, nurturing environment. We could not ask for more and would have no hesitation in recommending it to other parents.
Parent
It is an absolute honour and pleasure to work with such a dedicated, empowering and forward thinking school and leadership team.
I wanted to give something back to the school to thank them for providing such a positive learning experience to my son who attends the school.
The work has provided a great insight into the complex workings of the school from behind the scenes. I have seen such a transformation over the past few years which is testament to the focus on new innovative approaches and staff wellbeing, to name but a few.
Despite it being a voluntary role it has provided me with the opportunity for personal growth and continuous professional development.
The sense of achievement and reward is worth every minute and I would highly recommend it to anyone that has an enthusiasm in children’s overall education.
Chair of Trustees
My friend’s daughter continues to make progress under the stewardship of Richard and his devoted and committed professional team at the school, and it is uplifting that any contributions I make go towards the benefit of all pupils/students.
I’ll continue to support the school, and wish Richard and his dedicated team continued success as they systematically prepare and plan for future achievements.
