About the School 
Sandfield Park is one school with three educational sites, that individually serve the needs of young people with a wide range of physical, medical, emotional and learning difficulties. We work with children on three main sites: Sandfield Alder Hey Hospital Education Alder Centre for Education (ACE) Each of our sites has its own unique character. Sandfield caters for pupils with learning difficulties, a range of physical disabilities and complex medical needs. 

Alder Hey Hospital Education, teaches children who are patients on the hospital wards. The Alder Centre for Education, ACE, provides an education for students who live in Liverpool and cannot attend their own school for medical reasons.

School Vision and Values
We believe that all young people should have the opportunity to achieve their maximum potential and the school seeks to achieve this not only through the formal curriculum on offer to each child but also through an extensive range of extra curricular activities.
