Having a sight problem shouldn't be a barrier to learning. We work to ensure that blind and partially sighted children and adults gain get the best out of school and college.
Parents and carers
Our living and learning section can help support you and your child's school journey from
early years to
primary, to
secondary level education and
beyond. If your child has a sight problem and additional needs read our dedicated information on supporting children with
complex needs.
RNIB Sunshine House School and
RNIB Pears Centre for Specialist Learning (formerly Rushton School and Children's Home) offer specialist provision for children with sight loss and we also run a
college of Further Education.
