Description
betaThe Telford Park School, with its address at District Centre Stirchley, Shropshire TF3 1FA, is a dynamic coeducational secondary institution in Stirchley, Telford. Founded in 1976 as Stirchley Upper School, the school underwent name changes to The Lord Silkin School, then Lakeside Academy, before assuming its present title as Telford Park School following the completion of new buildings in 2015. The school's grounds provide state-of-the-art facilities, including a sports center, sixth-form facility, and post-16 learning center, replacing the old building that was demolished during construction.
Telford Park School currently enrolls over 600 students across the age range of 11 to 18. The student body is mixed-gender, and the curriculum is supported by a team of over 80 staff members. The school is an academy sponsored by the Community Academies Trust and is recognized by the Department for Education and the Telford and Wrekin Council. The colors of the school are black and gold. Notable events at Lakeside Academy include a 2014 anti-bullying incident that led the school to strengthen its policies, and the school was the subject of the satirical article "Secret Diary of a School Teacher" published in Private Eye in 2004.
From 2013 to 2015, the school functioned as Lakeside Academy under academy status, and it was a part of the Telford Co-operative Multi-Academy Trust before conversion to Community Academies Trust in 2015. The school promotes weekend educational programs such as the Telford Japanese School, which takes place on the school property.
