Curriculum Highlights

Admissions Criteria

We admit severely and profoundly deaf children and young people aged 3-19, including those with cochlear implants and visual impairments. All children are assessed by a highly specialist speech and language therapist, audiologist and a wider team of experts in deaf education.

Financial Information

The fee depends upon the needs of individual children following assessment. RSDD has a fair fee structure underpinned by a sound matrix of need. It receives High Needs Funding directly from the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) and takes this off the cost of a placement so the Local Authority 'top-up' payment is less.
