Hopes and Dreams an STV documentary

Twelve years ago a Scottish TV documentary captured the hearts and minds of the nation with a moving look at the children and staff of the Royal Blind School. The programme found out all about the children getting the vital education, skills and life lessons that they would need for a life without sight as they grew up. The children, then aged between 11 and 17, spoke freely and openly about their hopes and dreams for the future.

Earlier this year STV caught up with the children that featured in the original documentary to find out if they are fulfilling their hopes and dreams, capturing the interviews in a brand new documentary – Hopes and Dreams - that was broadcast in October.  Part of the new documentary also included a visit to the school to find out how things have changed since their original broadcast 12 years ago. Whilst visiting they captured the first day of school for new pupil Mason Haddow. His brother Lee already attends the school and his mum and dad were with him on this big day as he settled into his new surroundings.
