Park House School, Secondary academy school in Newbury, England.
Park House School is an academy situated on former parkland along Andover Road, offering contemporary learning spaces and two libraries with extensive book collections. The facility is equipped with approximately 500 internet-connected computers distributed throughout various learning areas.
The school transitioned from a comprehensive school overseen by West Berkshire Education Authority to an independent academy in 2011. This conversion to academy status represented a significant shift in school governance and independence.
The school operates through a house system where students are organized into four groups named after notable sports graduates, led by staff and senior students. This structure shapes daily school life and builds connections across different year groups.
The school grounds provide access to multiple learning spaces equipped with modern computer technology to support varied educational needs. Visitors should note that most facilities are located within the school building and certain areas may have restricted access during specific times.
The school's Wellness Centre combines fitness facilities with spaces for cooking instruction and information technology training in one integrated area. This combined approach to practical skills development sets it apart from typical school facilities.
