So proud of our Year 6 children who introduced themselves and recited their own poem β€˜BSL in our hands’ at the British Deaf Association special event in parliament and presented MPs Chloe Smith, Mims Davies & Virginia Crosbie with some artwork! #SignLanguageWeek

I’m just beyond thrilled and proud of the incredible launch of #BSLinOurHands on Monday, calling on the government to invest in free BSL access for all families of deaf children. It’s beyond unthinkable that in 2024 you have to pay to learn to communicate with your deaf child.

Thank you to the Minister and the BSL Advisory Board for visiting our school and meeting our pupils. We hope more people will learn BSL and that more deaf children will have access to BSL in the early years to ensure there is no risk of language deprivation. #BSLAct2022
