The school was previously known as Rushton Hall School and then RNIB Rushton School and Children’s Home. In May 2011 the name changed to RNIB Pears Centre for Specialist Learning – the new name reflects the donation and support given to the school by the Pears Foundation.〔(Pears Foundation website )〕 The school is run by RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind People). It is based just outside Coventry. ==History== The school was founded in 1957, at Rushton Hall in Northamptonshire. In 2002, the school moved to a shared site with Exhall Grange School in Coventry.〔(RNIB website - About RNIB Pears Centre )〕 In 2005, planning began for a major redevelopment of the entire school site. The redevelopment was finished in 2012.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「RNIB Pears Centre for Specialist Learning」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
