About Elmfield School for Deaf Children

Elmfield School for Deaf Children is a very special place. Our school is dedicated to promoting high achievement and learning for life. Our children and young people are immersed in a rich language community to thrive socially and in their learning. Central to our school is the use of bilingualism as our approach to teaching Deaf children which combines both British Sign Language (BSL), the language of the Deaf community, and English, the language of the hearing community. We value these languages equally and want our children to become equally fluent in both. Through assisting our children in becoming bilingual the aim is that they are comfortable in both deaf and hearing communities.
