NCW is the only secondary school in the UK dedicated to supporting vision-impaired young people. We are a national, residential, non-maintained special school serving students aged 11–19 who are blind or visually impaired, with some also facing additional challenges, including hearing impairments, physical disabilities, learning difficulties, or autism.

The majority of the students’ fees are funded by their local authorities, covering education, residency, and individualised support. However, NCW relies heavily on fundraising to cover costs related to general maintenance, refurbishments, vehicles, equipment, and most extracurricular activities.

Please support NCW to raise funds to help them to continue to inspire, nurture and empower young people who are blind or vision impaired. Your support really will help make a difference.
