The Elmgreen School Hearing Impairment Resource Base

The Hearing Support Department is the Lambeth secondary provision for students with a hearing loss and accompanying communication and learning needs who will benefit from specialist Teacher of the Deaf and Teaching Assistant (TA) support throughout the school day. The department is located within The Elmgreen School, a state of the art, new-build comprehensive so enabling a high degree of inclusive education and involvement in social experiences.

Since every deaf or hearing impaired student presents a unique profile of language, personal and learning needs, the guiding principle for delivering inclusive learning is one of ‘meeting individual needs.’ The communication policy of ‘Total Communication’ naturally follows on from this.

As part of the School’s planned pastoral support, all members of the HSD are included in our ‘college’ system.
Admission to the Base will be through the Lambeth SEND Team.
