Scholarship visit to Perkins USA

Perkins School for the Blind provides education and services for children and adults around the world who are blind, deaf blind or visually impaired. So you can imagine how pleased I was to be awarded a scholarship from my teaching union NASUWT and The English Speaking Union. This scholarship has provided me with the chance to visit Perkins School for 2 weeks, in which time I will consider the similarities and differences between a US residential school for visually impaired and my own school, New College Worcester.
