Pupils and staff at All Faiths Children's Academy were ecstatic to receive a donation of British Sign Language (BSL) signs from their generous Parents and Friends Association.
All Faiths is proud to have a specialist deaf provision called Tree Tops, where they teach and support children with severe hearing loss. Tree Tops uses a Total Communication approach where pupils can learn and communicate effectively to achieve their goals. This resource provision supports up to 25 deaf pupils from Nursery to Year 6, all of whom will have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) with a severe to profound hearing loss as their primary need.
Tree tops pupils are included in all aspects of school life and learn alongside their age-related peers. As a wider school, children are taught BSL as a foreign language and participate in events such as Sign2Sing and Deaf Awareness Week; This allows all students within the school to be able to communicate effectively with one another.
These kindly donated signs celebrate and educate about all things BSL, teaching our students key terms and phrases that they can use to communicate with their peers, and will be displayed around the playground, making them accessible to everyone.
Communication without limits.
