About

James Rennie School

James Rennie School is an outstanding provision for children and young people aged 3 to 19 who have severe or profound learning disabilities across North Cumbria. We are proud to be part of the Northern Hub within the Eden Academy Trust, a family of special schools working collaboratively within one Multi Academy Trust to provide the very best education and support for our pupils.

We specialise in communication, placing it at the heart of everything we do. By developing each pupil’s each individual voice and means of expression, we enable them to achieve exceptional progress and reach their full potential.

At James Rennie School, we are committed to creating a truly inclusive environment where every pupil feels welcomed, valued and respected. We believe that the quality of teaching and learning, the achievements, attitudes and wellbeing of every young person truly matter.

Our central ethos

Teaching the person

Our wish is to provide an outstanding education to support pupils at school, at home, and as they progress to their next steps beyond school.

To do this we look at each pupil individually and provide education based on their personal hopes, abilities and needs.

Our school rule

We look after each other

Pupils, staff, parents and our Local Advisory Board members all know and live by our school rule which is ‘we look after each other’.

James Rennie School is an exciting ever changing community of which we are all very proud.
