Best Deaf school in the UK?

Lissa · 03-31-2009, 05:14 PM

There is a thread for the best school in the USA so I'm wondering what some of you consider the best school in the uk?

***Brian*** · 03-31-2009, 06:17 PM

I guess Mary Hare School is one of them?

Miss-Delectable · 04-05-2009, 03:46 AM

Blanche Neville or Frank Barnes.

I could ask a pal who teaches at a deaf school in UK and ask her your question, if you like.

Im just asking out of curiousity

Lissa · 04-05-2009, 11:04 AM

I really liked my deaf school but i guess it isnt as good as blanche neville or frank barnes. I went to Thomasson Memorial School for the Deaf

I'm not sure which is the best school but don't think it's mary hare as they don't permit sign language.

Has anyone been to Derby school for the deaf?

Lissa · 05-21-2009, 01:36 PM

I have some friends who went to Derby School for the Deaf

What is it like? I heard it was good but I've never been there so I don't really know.

The friend of mine who went there hated it. She got constantly bullied during the time she was there.
I dont know how the school was, the education I mean.

I really thought my primary school was the best school. Everyone who went there absolutely loved it. Everyone was at an age appropriate level and doing work they should do with some adaptations. I went to the mainstream school up the road on a weekly basis in year 6 when I was 10-11 years old about three times a week for English. It was quite challenging, I didnt have any support in English lessons but I was able to understand. There was a teaching assistant in the class assisting other pupils with Special needs including dyslexia and dyspraxia, she used to make sure i understood and she could sign a little. Of course, I struggled on spellings due to be unable to hear the words even with my ci. My school was great, it was an oral and signing school. There was 3 classes of Oral for Year 1,2 and 3 and signing classes for Year 1,2,3. There was a maximum of 8 pupils in 1 class. Reception had one class for both oral and sign. The nursery class had some deaf pupils but mostly hearing.Most classes had 5-8 pupils. Every friday there used to be story time for both classes of Year 5 and 6 so 4 classes came together and there was story time in both sign and speech and of course everyone loved it because it was done by a deaf teacher. All the teachers in the school spoke as well as sign with the pupils
I was at the mainstream school every yer. Most pupils at my school went over the mainstream school with signers and support staff. In year 1 i went over with my classmates for art, in year 2 i went over for geography, in year 3 i went over for geography and history with 4 others. In year 5 I went for english, history and geography unsupported on my own. we only went over there for a term or two (semester)
year 4,5 and 6 went over to mainstream school for PE for a couple of semesters. But mostly PE was at our school and we all signed and talked, our favourite game was rounders.

Thanks for describing your school. Sounds like a school which uses Total Communication.

I don't know too much about that method. I was in an oral only PHU and hated it although I did get along with the other pupils there.

This school seems good. A year or so it was about to close down but it's still got it's website up. Hope things have improved for it since then?

I only know that Mary Hare is the best school. Therefore there´re no sign language in that Mary Hare school.

I had been collect cons and pros about Mary Hare school including Frank Barnes school, Oak Lodge school, etc.

I really cannot say which is the best school but person itself who is determine to learn anything on own willing.

I looked up rounders and found that it is similar to our baseball.

I doubt Braidwood ever made to the best school for the Deaf in UK because I saw how behind the students are in compared to the regular students. I had posted that link once or twice in here.
