St Vincent's School in Liverpool

In Touch

Available for over a year

School has changed for blind children. Peter White recalls leaving education with a knowledge of history and physics - and an inability to iron a shirt or peel a potato. But at St Vincent's School in Liverpool the fundamentals of living, cookery, the ability to navigate and even ironing, sit alongside the national curriculum. We meet vice principal Angela Simpson, as she takes us through the corridors, and take a walk with Head Girl Marcia, for a lesson in visually impaired street skills. Presented by Peter White. Produced by Kevin Core.
