Cavendish School is a day school for pupils aged 11-19 with complex learning difficulties. The school offers an after-school club and a 'Saturday Drop Off Club'. The aim of the Clubs is to extend respite opportunities to parents of children with learning difficulties in Halton and, in particular, Runcorn. The Clubs run throughout the year with only Christmas and Easter Bank Holiday weekend closure. Referrals are through the school although Social Services will be informed due to the funding structures.
