School Description

Frank Barnes Primary School is a smaller than average special school. It caters for profoundly deaf children in the London Borough of Camden as well as taking children from many other London boroughs. Nearly all pupils travel to and from the school by local authority transport. About three quarters of pupils are from ethnic minority backgrounds and many come from families where English is their second language. All teaching is through the medium of British Sign Language. All pupils have a statement of special educational needs for hearing impairment or are being assessed for one. Over two thirds have additional needs, mainly associated with multi-sensory disabilities, learning difficulties and/or emotional and behavioural difficulties. The school moved to a new temporary site a year ago while awaiting the completion of a new school on a shared campus with a new primary school. The school holds the Investor in People and Healthy School Awards. There is provision for children from the age of two in the Early Years Foundation Stage class.
