About Our School

Victoria Park School is situated in Carluke in the Clydesdale area of South Lanarkshire. Our location is within range of a number of small towns and villages and is primarily rural. We cater for pupils from across South Lanarkshire whose additional support needs present as a broad range of severe and profound learning, communication, and health needs

Our vision is that “At Victoria Park School we are growing to be the best we can be!”. We promote our values of being respectful, ambitious, inclusive and nurturing through everything that we do. 

Our pupil role for this session 2026-2027 is 72 primary aged pupils, P1 to P7. Our pupils benefit from smaller class sizes and higher staff ratios to support their learning. We work in partnership with multi-agency teams to ensure that we are getting it right for every child. To ensure that our learners have appropriately planned learning experiences we follow Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) using Education Scotland’s Milestones to Support Learners with Complex Needs and CfE Experiences and Outcomes. Our assessment includes the use of B Squared Steps to Excellence and Connecting Steps which link to CfE and Milestones.

A soft play, a sensory room and hydrotherapy pool is on site to support wider learning and well-being. Pupils have access to an internal courtyard for breaks and play. We share a campus with High Mill Primary School and share a common goal of providing meaningful opportunities for inclusion.
