Welcome
Welcome to our website. We hope that it will provide you with information about the school and the community it serves. At Braidwood we value each and every young person as an individual, worthy of respect and dignity. It is our vision to ensure that we turn potential into success for everyone of our students.
As a school for d/Deaf pupils we provide a wide range of experiences that enrich the lives of our students and allow them to enjoy, achieve and succeed. Students follow the National Curriculum and take National Exam Board Qualifications at the end of Key Stage 4. Our curriculum is delivered by experienced Teachers of the Deaf who enhance accessibility and show consideration for the impact of d/Deafness. Where modifications to the curriculum occur, equal but alternative opportunities are provided.
The benefit of sharing our campus with a mainstream secondary school is the opportunities it provides for our students to study and interact alongside their hearing peers in a fully supported inclusive environment. Our philosophy is to develop a truly inclusive school environment where difference and diversity are celebrated and where British Sign Language is simply another language rather than a special need and where the language of negative discrimination no longer exists.
