Based in heart of Peckham Rye, South East London, within the London Borough of Southwark, Tuke School is a positive and focused community. We acknowledge the rights of our students to learn and develop as individuals. We are committed to continual improvement, high quality education, within an open and welcoming environment.
The range of disabilities requires the contribution of a multidisciplinary team with physiotherapists, occupational therapist, speech and language therapists and special school support assistants, all working co-cooperatively with the teaching staff to meet the individual needs of the students. We hope you enjoy our website and are happy to answer any questions you may have.
