This summer we will be running a British Sign Language summer school for teens going in to years 10, 11, 12 or 13 in September. The session is a 3 hour introduction to British Sign Language and Deaf awareness and will be run by a fully qualified and DBS’d Sign Language tutor. The same session will run twice, on the 17th and 19th August.

This session is suitable for teens aged 14-17 who would like to learn some sign language as a new skill, something to add to their UCAS applications or simply as a bit of fun.
