Teaching & academics
Ofsted judged both teaching and the sixth form to be Good, reflecting consistent quality from the early years through to post-16 study. With so few pupils, classes are small and learning can be closely tailored to each child. The school's specialism means teaching is shaped around the communication and access needs of deaf learners.
