School

Doncaster School for the Deaf - An education that is right for your child.

Doncaster School for the Deaf was founded in 1829, and is one of the oldest deaf schools in the UK. We are proud of our long history and achievements.

We provide a pupil-centered approach to education from the earliest years up to the age of 19. All pupils have an Education and Health Care Plan. Although we are based in Doncaster, we are a national resource and pupils come to us via local authorities from all over the UK. We offer a safe and nurturing environment in which children can learn and communicate effectively to achieve their goals.

Physical Education and Swimming

Physical Education is delivered through a scheme of work designed to focus on fundamental movement skills. These include agility, balance and coordination together with healthy competition and cooperative learning. The program is fully aligned to the National Curriculum. https://www.createdevelopment.co.uk/real-pe/

All pupils have weekly swimming lessons in our on-site swimming pool.
