Fifteen months ago the Perry Common Resource Centre in Birmingham began to open up the secondary school curriculum to pupils with hearing, visual and physical handicaps at special schools on the Perry Common campus. Children whose curriculum had previously been constrained by the small size of their schools were able for the first time to study science, humanities, craft, design and technology, art, textiles, information technology, music and drama in purpose designed facilities. Jill Bourne, head of the resource centre, outlines progress so far.
