Roding Primary School - Deaf Provision

Deaf Provision

Our specialist provision for 35 deaf pupils adds an additional dimension to life at Roding, particularly since we have extended opportunities for both staff and children to learn signing in order to help communication.

Pupils are included as fully as possible in their class but may also be withdrawn for focused group teaching within one of several soundproofed bases if it is appropriate to meet their need. Four specialist support teachers of the deaf and a team of specialist teaching assistants support the children to access all aspects of the curriculum. The school provides a total communication approach to teaching although specific groups are taught using a purely oral/aural teaching approach, reflecting the schools commitment to meet each child’s individual needs. There are also three deaf adults on the staff.
