Schools of Sanctuary Award

We are delighted to share that Park School has achieved the Schools of Sanctuary Award. We are the first special school in Northern Ireland to achieve this award, and we are very proud!

The visitors to our school on Monday, from the Belfast City of Sanctuary, were particularly impressed by the enthusiasm and engagement of pupils and staff, and by the many ways in which the school promotes understanding, kindness, inclusion, and respect for people from all backgrounds. Achieving School of Sanctuary status is not simply an award; it reflects a culture of welcome that is embedded throughout the life of the school.

We are looking forward to attending a special SoS Celebration Award Ceremony in Belfast City Hall, during Good Relations Week, in October 2026! #inclusion #diversity #Respect #schoolsofsanctuary #awardwinner
