About the school
Rutherford School is a specialist independent mixed day school for pupils between the ages of 3 – 1 9 years. The highly unique Rutherford School Curriculum is designed to provide education in an integrated manner incorporating learning, therapy and health needs for pupils with Profound & Multiple Learning Difficulties which are compounded by a high degree of dependency, and who require very specialised management for physical disabilities, sensory impairment and complex medical needs.
We are Rutherford Life Skills Centre, a specialist provision for students with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties aged between 19-25 years. Our aim is to provide inclusive education to learners whose very special needs are compounded by a high level of dependency. The centre’s holistic approach facilitates learning that is supported and managed by a specialist range of therapies which address physical disabilities, sensory impairments, and complex medical needs.
