Inspiring, nurturing and empowering young people with a vision impairment.

See Me! Schools Programme

We are inviting your school to see differently – Meet George!

Raising awareness of vision impairment in children

New College is excited to be hosting our new, free, primary school initiative. We want you to join us in understanding what it’s like for our NCW students living with a vision impairment, learning how to do things, at times, a little differently.

A student sits at a blue classroom table reading a braille book. The student wears glasses and a blue hearing aid and uses one hand to track the raised braille dots across the page. Bookshelves filled with folders, notebooks and learning materials are visible in the background, creating a focused learning environment within a classroom or library setting.

Our aim

“We would love to share our students’ experiences in an open discussion around what it’s like as a child to live with a vision impairment. Our aim is to give your students an insight into the world of a person who is visually impaired, outlining some of the differences (and similarities!) between us all and discuss ways in which young people can overcome barriers and achieve happiness and success.”

This is a fantastic opportunity for both students and staff and also complies with the national curriculum forming part of PSHE education.
Schools - Go orange assembly

I just wanted to extend a huge thank you for arranging the visit to my daughter's school yesterday. It was such a wonderful experience, and both she and the staff were absolutely thrilled. Your efforts in making this happen are greatly appreciated, and it truly made a positive impact on everyone involved and their understanding of people with a visual impairment.
