What Schools Say

Hear from the headteachers, inclusion leads, and classroom teachers who have brought Unblind Your Mind into their schools.

The Unblind Your Mind workshop was one of the most impactful experiences our pupils have ever had. Children who were shy about disability suddenly had the language and confidence to be inclusive.

Mrs Sarah ThompsonHeadteacher, St Mary's Primary School, Manchester

Our Year 5 pupils were completely captivated from start to finish. The blind footballer who led the session was inspiring, and the children talked about it for weeks afterwards.

Mr James OkoroPSHE Coordinator, Greenfield Academy, Birmingham

We have tried many enrichment days, but nothing has come close to this. The blindfold football was exciting, and the messages about empathy and inclusion really landed with our pupils.

Miss Emily CarterYear 4 Teacher, Riverside Primary School, Leeds

Having a real England athlete in our school made an enormous difference. The children saw that disability does not stop you from achieving great things. It changed perspectives overnight.

Mrs Priya PatelInclusion Lead, Oakwood Primary, Leicester

The workshop was brilliantly structured for primary-age children. It was age-appropriate, engaging, and educational. Our SEND pupils felt celebrated rather than singled out.

Mr David HughesDeputy Headteacher, Elm Park Primary School, London

Since the workshop, we have noticed a real shift in playground behaviour. Children are more patient, more understanding, and more willing to include everyone in their games.

Mrs Karen WilliamsPastoral Lead, Hillside Community Primary, Sheffield

This programme perfectly supports our PSHE curriculum and British Values teaching. It is one of the best investments we have made in our pupils' personal development.

Miss Rachel GreenHeadteacher, Brookside Primary School, Bristol

The facilitator was phenomenal with the children. Patient, funny, and deeply knowledgeable. Every pupil left the session wanting to learn more about blind football and disability awareness.
