Blackfen School for Girls

Description

Bexley's secondary resource provision for girls with visual impairment, aged 11-18, including those registered blind. Based in building at the front of Bexley's highest-performing non-selective school. Boys can also be accommodated from 16 in the mixed sixth form.

We have experience of supporting students, both large print users and braillists, through GCSE and A-Level. Students come mostly from Bexley, but also from Greenwich and Kent. We are able to transcribe and emboss braille documents. Tuition in braille and Moon is available.

Students with additional needs (at or below NC level 2 on entry) may be taught in the 'Jigsaw class', led by experienced SEN teachers, equipped with CCTV, low vision aids and a Soundfield system, where all the core subjects are taught in a small group.

Students continue to access practical and performing arts subjects in the school mainstream, with Teaching Assistant support. Please contact us for further information or to visit.
