About Us

We are part of the Vale Federation of Special Schools. Harding House is the Sixth Form of Stocklake Park School and is in the town centre of Aylesbury. Harding House is within walking distance of many local community facilities, close to other local secondary schools and with good local transport links.

Harding House Sixth Form caters for students aged 16—19 with a wide range of needs. Students come into the Sixth Form from local, and out of county, SLD, MLD, specialist and mainstream schools.

The staff team currently includes Head, Teachers, Tutors, Learning Support Assistants, Administrator and lunch-time supervisors. There is also an input from other professionals to support students when appropriate - Connexions, Physiotherapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Social Services (Children’s and Adult Disability Teams), residential providers and employers.

Teaching groups usually have a maximum of five students. Each student has a named Personal Tutor who will attend Annual Reviews, transition meetings, interviews etc and be the primary contact for home / school communication.

Our new student intake usually commences in September, but mid year applications will be considered. After initial transition students usually begin their Sixth Form programme in the Hampden Group and undertake an induction programme. The Walton, Gladstone and Harding Groups cater for second and third year students, with increased emphasis on vocational skills, functional key skills and transition to post school provision.

There is also alternative 14-19 provision based at Stocklake Park School main site, catering for students who have more complex difficulties and may need a more sensory curriculum, access to therapies and a higher level of physical support and care.
