We are delighted to announce that we have received £18,500 from the National Lottery Community Fund for new outdoor play equipment for our students. This generous funding will enhance the our outdoor spaces and provide our blind and visually impaired students with greater opportunities for physical activity, sensory exploration and social interaction.

The new equipment will be designed to meet the unique needs of our students. The outdoor play area will include a variety of accessible, inclusive and engaging play structures, encouraging students to develop vital skills such as mobility, coordination and independence, all while enjoying the benefits of outdoor play.

The funding will also contribute to the creation of a safe and stimulating environment where students can interact with their peers, build confidence, and enjoy recreational activities. This project aligns with our commitment to providing a holistic educational experience that supports the academic, social and emotional development of all students.

The funding will also enable us to continue our mission to provide world-class education and care for blind and visually impaired young people, empowering them to lead fulfilling and independent lives.

We are incredibly grateful to the National Lottery Community Fund for their generous funding. This new outdoor play equipment will provide our students with invaluable opportunities to engage with the outdoors, foster independence, and enjoy vital physical activity in a supportive, inclusive environment. The contribution of the funding from the scheme helps us continue to enhance the facilities and experiences we offer to our students.
