“Pupils flourish in this welcoming and inclusive school that fosters friendship. It equips deaf and hearing pupils with the skills to become fluent British Sign Language (BSL) communicators. This shared language develops understanding between pupils. Older pupils in particular value the communication skills they acquire. The school sets high standards for pupils to learn well and succeed. Its actions demonstrate the school’s vision of ‘Free to Achieve’. The high quality of support that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive gives them the best chance to learn well. All pupils achieve well.”
