Deaf Children

Knotty Ash hosts a Deaf Resource Base (DRB) which is an integral part of the school.  We are therefore able to accommodate severely/profoundly deaf children in our inclusive mainstream school with specialist teachers of the deaf. The process of admission to the DRB is coordinated by Liverpool Local Authority Sensory Service.  The operational lead is:
