About

Warwickshire Local Authority has commissioned Exhall Grange to lead and manage their specialist teaching service for pupils with a visual impairment. The overarching aim of the Vision Support Service is to enable children and young people with visual impairments 'the opportunity to be equal and the right to be different.'

The Vision Support Service provides support for children and young people with a visual impairment from birth to 19 years of age in a variety of educational settings. We provide support for babies within the home and work in nurseries and pre-school settings, mainstream and special schools.

We support the Local Authority in carrying out its statutory functions and responsibilities in relation to children and young people with a visual impairment. The Vision Support Service is staffed by Qualified Teachers of the Visually Impaired (QTVI).

We currently employ 2.9 FTE Qualified Teachers of the Visually Impaired:- We also have a teaching assistant on secondment from Exhall Grange School for 2 days per week. Once your child has been assessed and placed on the VSS caseload you will be allocated a named QTVI. For enquires about a referral contact:- or telephone 024 76 364200 to speak to someone.
