RNIB New College Worcester is a co-educational secondary school for pupils with serious sight problems who have academic ability. The school can accommodate 115 students whose age range is 11 to 19. In addition to special needs arising from sight problems, the College undertakes to meet further needs such as hearing loss. The campus is equipped for wheelchair users.
All students have individual educational and care plans.
Students come to New College from both mainstream and specialist schools. Most enter the school at the age of 11 but some join us later. We particularly welcome applicants for the sixth form course. All our students who leave after sixth form go on to higher education, most to universities. Students come from all parts of England and Wales as well as from overseas.
