What we do
As the leading regional centre for young people with little or no sight, we pride ourselves on our specialist provision delivered by experienced professionals who work collaboratively to provide education, health, care, therapy and mobility to ensure that learners receive the highest quality services and provision which includes:
- The school for children from 4-16 years of age
- The college for learners from 16-24
- Outreach and advisory services for visual impairment
- Training in visual impairment and special needs
- Training for learning disabilities and sensory impairment
- Workforce development and research
Many young people attending the West of England School and College have severe and complex needs as well as visual impairment. Our aim is to develop their independence so that they can develop academically and socially, whatever their ability.
We provide a personalised curriculum for each learner which is designed to meet their individual learning and care needs and to encourage them to thrive and achieve in a supportive environment.
