About Cumberland School
Cumberland School is an independent specialist day school providing high quality education for boys and girls. Based in Rivington, Bolton, the school meets the needs of a diverse group of pupils with a range of complex learning needs, Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties and co-existing ADHD, speech, language and communication difficulties and attachment disorders.
A big warm welcome to our website
At Cumberland School, our ‘can do’ approach instils a sense of belief and determination, enabling our children and young people to overcome personal challenges and reach new heights in their development.
Our experienced and talented staff team create opportunities for pupils to learn and develop skills to achieve personal and academic goals and prepare them for life beyond the classroom. This is achieved through a carefully constructed curriculum that follows the national curriculum in a much more personalised way, sparking pupil interest and increasing their engagement.
To further enhance and support learning, our school is split across two sites; Cumberland School and Cumberland School Station Road Campus. Cumberland School is where Key Stage 2 and 3 pupils overcome barriers to learning in a nurturing setting, and for Key Stage 4, they move on to the Station Road Campus, where they access the highly equipped learning environment, coupled with bespoke educational and vocational opportunities.
Throughout their journey with us, we build the confidence and resilience of each pupil so that they move forward with cultural capital to contribute to the communities they will work, live and learn in.
