All year groups enjoyed a very special assembly today when our former pupil, Aliza (now 21), came back to give an inspirational talk on how she has lived with sight loss. Current pupils were fascinated to hear about how she navigated her way around our site and participated in lessons alongside her peers when she was learning at our school. Aliza demonstrated the new technologies which have helped her to continue her studies. Pupils enjoyed hearing her phone talk to her! Aliza is currently studying creative writing at Brunel University. Pupils asked a wide range of interesting questions which Aliza was able to answer in her positive and inspiring way. She kindly left each class with part of a poem she has written, so that pupils could feel the braille text.
