Introduction New College Worcester is a national residential School and College for young people aged 11 to 19 who are blind or partially sighted. Every student at NCW has a tailored programme, carefully planned and delivered to meet their individual needs in three key areas - academic achievement, independent living skills and involvement in extra-curricular 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. All of our teachers are expert subject teachers qualified to teach the visually impaired and there is a wealth of experience and expertise amongst our teaching and care staff. The outreach events in this booklet offer training and advice to mainstream settings, allowing our staff to share their skills for the benefit of many more young people with a visual impairment. If you do not see an event here that suits you we can arrange a visit at any time during the academic year, simply get in touch. We look forward to welcoming you to the College.
