RNIB Pears Centre for Specialist Learning

RNIB Pears Centre for Specialist Learning is a non-maintained special school located in Coventry, Warwickshire, catering to a mixed-gender population of 31 pupils, with a capacity of 70. The school focuses on providing tailored educational support for children with visual impairments and other complex needs, ensuring a nurturing environment that promotes individual growth and learning.

In light of past governance and safeguarding issues highlighted by a Charity Commission inquiry, RNIB has committed to significant reforms. The organisation has overhauled its safeguarding practices, implemented comprehensive training for staff and trustees, and strengthened its leadership team with specialists in care and education. These changes aim to foster a safer and more effective learning environment for all students.

The RNIB community is dedicated to supporting families and children with visual impairments, offering resources and guidance to help navigate challenges associated with sight loss. The Centre's ethos is rooted in learning, care, and a commitment to continuous improvement, ensuring that every child receives the support they need to thrive.
