Background
History
The school was founded in 1957, at Rushton Hall in Northamptonshire. In 2002, it moved to a shared site with Exhall Grange School in Coventry. From 2009 to 2012 the entire school site was redeveloped, creating a new school building, five new bungalows and a new reception/administration building. In May 2011, Rushton School and Children's Home was renamed RNIB Pears Centre for Specialist Learning, in recognition of the Pears Foundation's investment of £1.1 million towards the redevelopment work. Anne, Princess Royal reopened the renamed school on 13 September 2012.
