Two Year 7s have gone above and beyond to ensure they can support their friend Imogen.

Imogen is partially sighted, she was registered blind when born but can see a little.

When she started at Priory, she met up with Humayraa and Sophie and they have both started training in sighted guiding so they can better support Imogen. Their training is with Imogen’s VI teacher Mr Manley, a Habitation Specialist.

Learning Support Assistant, Miss Dixon, who supports Imogen in school said: “Humayraa and Sophie are amazing. They have taken it on board really well and have concentrated on what they are being told – although it’s fun as well.

“It’s an ongoing training programme and they have had one lesson so far.

“It’s supporting Imogen should she get into difficulty and recognising what could cause this such as it being busy, dark or rough underfoot. It’s to help her physically.”

Sophie said: “I have learnt a lot, it’s just a nice thing to do.”

Imogen’s mum said: “I think this is wonderful and a real example of true friendship and solidarity.”
