Admissions

Our admissions process is slightly different to a mainstream school. But that’s because we specialise in the extraordinary.

We’re a unique place, specialising in the support of Deaf children and young people who also have multiple or complex additional needs – including multi-sensory impairment, autism and physical disabilities. Our Qualification range varies from Entry level to Level 3 Vocational Qualifications. Every student is treated as unique and individual – an ethos which is demonstrated through tailored learning pathways, to ensure all of our students are studying in the way that is right for them, in a language-rich environment of English and British Sign Language. Our campus in Exmouth allows us to do that with some of the best state-of-the-art facilities and Deaf-friendly learning spaces in Europe.

We will be with you throughout the admissions process to advise you, answer any questions, and support you and your family. Ruth Kennedy Admissions Co-ordinator and Mark Stocks, Partnerships and Community Manager, will be in regular contact to keep you updated as the process progresses.

We work closely with local authorities during the admissions process. We will also provide you with guidance and advice as required.
