The school is situated in a large, refurbished Victorian building with modern, interactive classrooms and sensory facilities. The environment is eco-sustainable, anti-ligature, and personalised to meet the needs of vulnerable students. Park Lodge School works closely with medical professionals, families, and external agencies to deliver a responsive and therapeutic curriculum. The school is recognised for its commitment to safety, personalisation, and fostering resilience, and it is rated as 'Good' by the Care Quality Commission.
