A multi-sensory room helps develop responses to the environment and encourages the use of vision. We have a jacuzzi and heated swimming pool for relaxation and movement of limbs and spacious grounds to play in. Our toy library is available to all young visually impaired children whether or not they are pupils at our school. The children enjoy special outings and regular visits to Riding for the Disabled to help develop their balance and co-ordination. Our teachers and care staff are trained and qualified in teaching blind or partially sighted children and multi-handicapped children.
Health care is provided by our permanent school nurse and by the school doctor on weekly visits.
We have regular visits from a consultant paediatrician, educational psychologist, ophthalmologist and a dentist. This means that the school is well able to cater for children with a high level of medical need. Families are given all the support they need from the school when liaising with health specialists. Parents and families are encouraged to enter the life of the school as much a possible. We offer help to parents in their discussions with professionals and advice, if needed, on all aspects of the welfare of their child.
