Welcome to the Key Stage 2 Hearing Impaired Unit - Dosbarth Pen y Fan

Here in the Key Stage 2 resource provision we support pupils with a range of hearing losses to access an inclusive mainstream curriculum. Pupils are taught alongside their hearing peers when appropriate with a specialist teaching assistant. They receive additional support and teaching in small groups from a qualified Teacher of the Deaf.

The aim of this resource provision is to help pupils learn in a deaf aware mainstream environment, to make choices about their communication needs and develop the skills needed to move between the deaf and hearing world. In the Hearing Impaired Unit we use a range of communication styles; spoken and written English; British Sign Language (BSL); Signed Supported English (SSE) and Signed Exact English (SEE) to support the pupils' language development.
