International Deaf Awareness Week

September 22, 2021

As part of Deaf Awareness week, Mrs Norford and some of the children from our Provision for Hearing Impaired led our whole school assembly. The children explained why they are deaf, the difficulties they have faced and helped our school community to learn some basic sign language. 

During the assembly we gave some facts and figures about deafness. Did you know that 1 in 6 people in the UK are affected by hearing loss and that around 2 million people in the UK have hearing aids?



Following on from our assembly, the children from our P-HIC delivered a book to each class which will be shared as part of our daily 'drop everything and read' time. 


We're very proud of the members of our provision for sharing their experiences with us and for helping our school community to become more deaf aware.
