Welcome to Rutherford School

Rutherford School is a specialist independent mixed day provision for students aged between 16-25 years with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD).

Our highly unique curriculum is designed to provide education in an integrated manner incorporating learning, therapy and health needs for our students.

Our aim is to provide inclusive education to learners whose very complex needs are compounded by a high level of dependency and who require very specialised management for physical disabilities, sensory impairment and complex medical needs. Our holistic approach facilitates learning that is supported and managed by a specialist range of therapies.

An exciting programme of capital improvements has been designed to support the flexibility that is needed to accommodate the very complex medical and physical needs of people with profound and multiple disabilities.

We're creating

 

  • A new hydrotherapy pool for use by our students and groups from the community
  • An extra classroom and new student entrance
  • Accessible meeting space (including accessible toilets) open to the community
