Pupils develop academic skills and are supported in their personal and social development.
Exposure to both Deaf and Hearing cultures will enrich the lives of pupils and their families and enable them to develop strong lifelong identities

Please could we arrange a visit and can you send us a prospectus?
We have an open door policy and we can arrange a visit at a time to suit you. You can use this website to Request a Prospectus or Arrange a Visit
I am concerned about a pupil in mainstream
If the pupil is struggling with the curriculum, a lack of peers, and poor attendance in a mainstream school, we would be happy to arrange a visit for you to discuss their needs. We can personalise a curriculum tailored to meet the child's individual needs. Depending of the age of the pupil we would consider taster courses at Doncaster College for the Deaf (located on the same site).
I have a child who is profoundly deaf, wears digital aids, has no speech and uses sign language - would they be a candidate for your school?
Yes they would - I would recommend a visit. Either Contact Us or register to attend one of our Open Days
We would like our child to attend a school for the deaf, but our local authority's policy is to stay in mainstream
We recommend that you contact the Parent Partnership and the NDCS for advice. You are welcome to talk things through will us - contact details are here
