About Richard Cloudesley School
Welcome to Richard Cloudesley School.
We are a happy and successful school for children and young people who are physically disabled.
We value education and promote a love of learning of life. In our school you will see many examples of high quality work and excellent teaching. The love that we have for the children is evident in the way that we care for their personal needs and provide a high quality education.
All the members of our staff here are committed to providing a high quality education with the highest possible standards of personal care. Our work with parents is an extremely important part of school life; we listen carefully to what parents say. We want parents to feel supported and empowered to make comments on the quality of service.
Our primary department is situated in new buildings in the Golden Lane Campus which is just a few minutes walk away. The new premises will be alongside our local primary school - Prior Weston School and Children's Centre.
In September 2011 the secondary department will be moving to share a campus with the City of London Academy Islington, near the Angel tube station. Richard Cloudesley School will be one school on two sites with significantly improved buildings and services. The pupils will live the benefit of special school facilities and access to classrooms and areas used by mainstream pupils.
