It is with great sadness that we share the news that our former student, Robin Williams, passed away peacefully at his home on Monday evening after a lifelong battle with retinoblastoma.

Robin was just 37 years old.

He was a proud former England Blind Football International who loved representing his country on the pitch. His passion, courage, and achievements were an inspiration to many.
