Redburn School is located in the Kildrum area of Cumbernauld and services the North
Lanarkshire community providing education to children and young people who encounter
complex learning needs.
The school is a stand-alone provision catering for pupils from age 5-18 and its role is
currently 128 increasing to 135 in August 2022
All pupils attending the school have been through NLC needs based pathway review process.
The school is currently expanding and through North Lanarkshire Council, grants and
fundraising the school has facilities and equipment to support each pupil to realise and
fulfil their potential. Over the past 3 years the school has embarked on an ambitious
project to increase experiences linked to the outdoors.
We now have an outdoor bounce, swing and spin playground, cycle and
wheelchair track, polytunnel, designated forest schools area, sensory garden,
playground markings, activities to develop Literacy and Numeracy and a Bothy. All of
these sup-port our children and young people to learn vital skills associated with
learning, life and work in an environment which is motivating, stimulating and
promotes achievement.
This year we developed our playground further by having a MUGA (Multi Use Games
Area) and bespoke activity tower and adding additional swing sets.
The school also has a Café to support our senior phase pupils prepare for positive and
sustained destinations post school. The school community is continually examining a wide
range of initiatives to allow pupils to develop a depth of learning whilst in the
environment where the learning is taking place.
