RNIB Pears Centre for Specialist Learning

Based in Coventry, North Warwickshire we offer specialist services to children and young people who are blind or partially sighted with multiple disabilities and complex needs, including:

New state-of-the-art facilities are now open following a major redevelopment. This includes five six-bedroom bungalows with gardens and outdoor play areas. Our fully accessible school offers specialist music, art and science classrooms, two multi-sensory rooms, hall, library and sixth form area.

These new facilities will enable RNIB to provide individually-tailored support to more young people, maximising their potential for learning, independence and fulfilment.
