Welcome to NCW

NCW is a national residential school and college for children and young people aged 11 to 19 who are blind or vision impaired.

Every student at NCW has a tailored programme, carefully planned and delivered to meet need according to their own EHCP in three key areas; academic achievement, independent living skills and involvement in extracurricular activities at the College and in the community.

The opportunities provided to students in these three areas of provision play a crucial role in the development of confidence and self-esteem and preparation for life beyond our College.

NCW is part of Aequalis Education Trust — a forward-thinking educational trust based in Worcestershire with a clear vision, purpose and aims – committed to creating a positive, inclusive environment where every pupil, without exception, has access to high-quality teaching and the opportunities they deserve.

If you are a parent or carer of a current student you will find a whole library of information for you on our secure parent portal, including application forms, curriculum maps, uniform requirements, links to progress dashboards, event booking, the school diary and more!
