Our School

Sandfield Park School is a purpose-built day school which serves the needs of secondary age 11-19 year old pupils with physical disabilities in the Liverpool area.

The school is situated just off Queens Drive, Stoneycroft and is in close proximity to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. It was officially opened in 1961 by Group Captain Douglas Bader and is set in a very pleasant location. Grass and trees surround the school building, and there is a school playing field.

The main school building consists of seven classrooms together with specialist teaching areas including Science Laboratory, Technology Area, Library, Central Hall/Gymnasium, Multi – Sensory Room, home Economics, Art and Craft Rooms. In addition there is a separate, specially equipped Sixth Form Building.

The school has medical cover at all times together with Physiotherapy and part time Speech and Occupational Therapy. The school has specialist rooms and treatment areas for the Medical Staff, Physiotherapists, Occupational and Speech Therapists.

Pupils are taught in small class groups which enables them to receive the individual attention that they require. Each class group has at least one classroom assistant attached to them.

In September 2003 Alder Hey Hospital School became part of Sandfield Park School and the school also became responsible for Home Teaching for children unable to return to their own school for medical reasons.
