Our stories
Mhairi's story by mum Vikki Flett
Mhairi Flett is our 17 year old daughter and is in the 'leavers' class, ie. class 9, at the Canaan Lane Campus of the Royal Blind School (RBS). She will be leaving school next year and this is our story.
It’s been a fantastic year for Libby Clegg (16) who is registered blind and attends The Royal Blind School. Whilst studying for her exams, Libby has also been training hard at her favourite hobby – athletics.
