Deaf Learning Base

Percy Shurmer Deaf Learning Base caters for children who have an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP) due to significant hearing loss with a subsequent language delay. The purpose of the Deaf Learning Base is to provide a team of specialist staff, equipment, resources and teaching methods/strategies that will support the pupils ability to acquire language, enabling them to communicate effectively. We incorporate a variety of communication methods to ensure that the student has full access to the National Curriculum.
