Sponsored Abseil – West of England School and College

The West of England School and College is a registered charity that is the leading regional centre for the education and care of blind and visually impaired children and young people, many of whom also have a range of additional disabilities. This includes young people from 5 – 22 years old with cerebral palsy, hearing impairments, autistic spectrum disorders and physical disabilities. Each student who attends the West of England School and College is referred by his or her Local Authority or the Learning and Skills Council. A fee is paid by the authority to cover teaching, care and health requirements. However the fees paid are insufficient to cover the full cost of the student’s requirements as well as some of our more innovative teaching and learning. Parts of the service we offer do not receive any funding at all. Your generous support helps us to provide the best education and care for our visually impaired and blind students.
