School Description

Royal Cross Primary School meets the needs of deaf pupils from across the whole of Lancashire and a small proportion from neighbouring local authorities. The school occasionally admits pupils who have normal hearing, but who benefit from the way in which the school teaches communication. A majority of the pupils has hearing impairment plus additional special educational needs. All pupils have a statement of special educational needs or education, care and health plans. Approximately half the pupils come from minority ethnic backgrounds, mainly from families of Pakistani heritage and the large majority of this group speaks English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils who are disadvantaged and eligible for funding through the pupil premium is broadly average. Pupil premium is additional government funding the school receives for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and for those children looked after by the local authority. The school does not have any looked-after children currently. Most children join the school in the early years, but pupils may be admitted at other times. Children in early years attend full time or part time, according to need. Royal Cross staff provide support and training to mainstream schools with deaf children on request as part of The Loynes Teaching School Alliance. The school holds a number of awards, the most recent being Investors in People (Gold) and Artsmark.
