SEN Application for Hague School’s Deaf Resource Base (DRB) for children who are deaf or partially hearing.

Hague is an inclusive school with a Deaf Resource Base for children who have moderate to severe hearing loss. The children are auditory aural learners. We have capacity for up to 16 children across Nursery– Year 6. Children are usually referred to Hague DRB via Tower Hamlets Special Needs Team. Children’s EHCP states attending a DRB.

The children are fully integrated into the mainstream classes supported by Qualified Teachers of the Deaf and Teaching Assistants. Children have access to a Speech Therapist in school. The mainstream setting is most suitable for children who are auditory aural learners able to access learning through spoken word.

Please note we do not provide signed provision for teaching. Culloden Primary School in Tower Hamlets has a signing provision for deaf children.

Parents considering a place at Hague should visit the school too discuss their application with the Teachers of the Deaf /Inclusion Manager before completing the Tower Hamlets Common Application Form CAF for a nursery or primary place.
