We look for all our young people to be successful learners enabling them to achieve in a caring and supportive environment.  Working together is at the heart of The Vale Federation and our relationship with parents, carers and all the many professionals is central to helping our young people succeed. Everyone works to make this happen from ensuring the facilities are clean to raising funds for new resources, from supporting personal care to teaching a young person to communicate, from ensuring they get to school to sharing their day on their return – we all have a part to play. Together we work to provide the best that we possibly can to support all their unique learning needs.

We are very proud of Booker Park, and you are very welcome to come and visit to see us in action.

Booker Park is a large primary special school of 226 pupils for children with a broad diversity of complex needs including Profound and Multiple. Severe and Moderate Learning Difficulties. Almost half of the pupils have an additional diagnosis of an autistic spectrum condition.

We are fortunate to have wonderful facilities, including a hydrotherapy pool, a multi-sensory, a soft play centre, a library, an observational mirror room, 2 therapy swing rooms, a theatre and a training suite. We strongly believe in the benefits of multi-professional working, and have on site speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and a school nurse.  We are also proud to have multiple outdoor play areas featuring numerous pieces of activity equipment, along with a dedicated muga.
