Recorded as the hottest day EVER on Tuesday 19 July, previous plans to hold our annual NCW Sports Day outside were to be rethought!

As the end of the academic year nears, the last week in school is usually spent off-timetable – doing lots of fun activities with the students such as trips out, visits, Sports Day and games.

The European Para Youth Games (EPYG) returned this year for the first time since 2019, taking place between 27 June and 4 July in Finland.

As part of our work to become more equipped to support the wellbeing of students, a number of staff have recently undergone training to gain NCW Trauma Informed Schools (TIS) status.

Students had the amazing opportunity to learn how to fly using a spectacular 6m high dome rig, during an aerial dance session at Everybody Dance!

Students from NCW shone at the recent Metro Blind Athletics Open 2022 whilst they competed in a number of races and games, and determined to beat their personal bests!

A group of fearless Year 8 and 9 students recently embarked on an end of year camp, packed with fun activities and new experiences.

Students Rahel and DJ have been busy working on various business enterprises in order to raise money for a chosen charity in Ukraine, supporting those who are vision impaired.

There are many school events that as a community, we all enjoy and look forward to during the summer.
One of those events is of course the annual MCC v NCW Cricket Match!

Children and young people (CYP) with vision impairment (VI) benefit from learning experiences outside of the classroom arguably more than their sighted peers. Engaging and learning with nature not only improves knowledge and understanding but is a powerful tool to improve wellbeing.
