'Learning together'
We are one school with three educational sites that individually serve the needs of young people with a wide range of physical, medical, emotional and learning difficulties. 

We work with children on three main sites: 
  • Sandfield Park School
  • The Hospital School at Alder Hey
  • Alder Centre for Education (ACE)

Each of our sites has its own unique character.  Sandfield Park caters for pupils with physical disabilities and a wide range of associated learning difficulties. The Hospital School situated at Alder Hey teaches children who are patients on the hospital wards.  The Alder Centre for Education formerly 'Medical Needs Education Support', ACE provides an education for students who live in Liverpool and cannot attend their own school for medical reasons.

Ofsted

"The school has demonstrated strong practice and marked improvement in specific areas. This may indicate that the school has improved significantly overall."

"A unique school where pupils arrive with a range of different needs and abilities . All pupils are welcomed, respected and treated as individuals."

"The pupils thrive and flourish to grow into independent, confident young people, ready to take their next steps in life."

"A typical comment from parents included: Sandfield Park School is a wonderful school with lovely values and incredible pupils and staff."

"Parents said that they could not praise the school enough."

"There is a strong culture of safeguarding in the school."

"Pupils  were very positive about the school. They were particularly keen to talk about how safe they felt in school."
