Welcome to NCW
A place where every child matters
New College Worcester is a residential school and college for young people who are blind or partially sighted, aged 11-19, who are able to access the National Curriculum and progress to study beyond sixteen.
In addition to an academic education, with access to a wide range of GCSE, AS and A-level courses, the College is committed to supporting the development of independence skills necessary for young people, including mobility, living skills, ICT and access to a very wide range of extra-curricular opportunities. Our students take part in many activities, both at the College and in the community.
NCW is a DfES Specialist Special School and is committed to sharing good practice and working closely with the wider community particularly through its Outreach programme.
NCW was delighted to be designated as an " outstanding" school, providing outstanding education and care, following our last OFSTED inspection in October 2005. (Click here to read the report.)
At our College, every student is valued as an individual. Our experienced and qualified staff work together to ensure that the needs of each young person are identified and supported appropriately to enable them to achieve and progress, both academically and in their independent living skills.
Enabling each student to have an individually tailored programme and supporting them in the development of their self esteem results in young people who flourish, both as students and individuals.
We hope you find what you are looking for on our website, but please be in touch if you need any further information.
