The Thomas De La Rue School caters for adolescents with cerebral palsy, many being severely disabled. Over the 10-year period (1967-77) out of a total of 355 pupils, 97 underwent surgery, a total of 147 operations, 145 orthopaedic, being performed, the majority on the lower limbs. The pupils involved, their parents, teachers and house-parents were invited to complete a questionnaire concerning the effectiveness of the operations, the anxieties and psychological problems resulting from surgery, and the effect on schooling.
