Our New Primary School

In 2017 we launched our ambitious fundraising appeal to build a brand-new purpose built Primary School for our youngest deaf pupils. June 2021 marked our groundbreaking event and building work commenced. Since then we have been able to share the progress of the project from the start to its finish. Take a look through our journey of our new school below.

We are now delighted to be open with our new Primary School in September 2022.
