Part of the Compass Community Schools network, Redwood Park supports learners with a range of SEND and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. The school will accommodate up to 90 young people across four purpose-built buildings on a single campus, each offering a calm and structured environment with no more than six learners per class.

Redwood Park places therapeutic, learner-centred education at its heart, with a holistic curriculum combining academic learning, vocational qualifications, and therapies including animal-assisted interventions and Forest School experiences.

Redwood Park’s headteacher, Charlotte Fernandes, is looking forward to the school’s opening. “Our mission at Redwood Park School is to break down the barriers that may have once stood in the way of a young person's growth, reigniting trust in the transformative power of education.

We believe in nurturing not just academic success, but the whole individual—fostering resilience, curiosity, and a passion for lifelong learning. By understanding each learner’s unique motivations, we create an environment where they can rediscover their strengths, build unshakable confidence, and flourish as empowered members of a thriving community.”

The school also offers an enterprise café, dedicated therapy spaces, music rooms and extensive outdoor learning areas, all designed to promote wellbeing, social development and independence.

Redwood Park’s opening marks a significant new chapter for Compass Community Schools, which has a decade-long track record of delivering exceptional outcomes for learners with complex needs across the UK.
