 175
years experience – the future’s looking good
Doncaster College for the Deaf has had yet another successful
year and congratulates its students on their achievements.
A special college such as this has a wealth of experience
of working with Deaf people. An understanding of the complex
needs of its students underpins everything that is offered.
Teaching is delivered using Total Communication that encompasses
native signers, signed English users and those who prefer
to use speech, also sport and leisure activity is encouraged.
We have excellent facilities to educate and train deaf
and hearing-impaired people, which means our students
have the opportunity to gain qualifications that enable
them to secure employment.
We teach our students life skills, and the self-esteem
necessary to face everyday challenges. We champion the
right of deaf people to choose a learning environment
where they are in a community of deaf people.
We are the leading provider of specialist education and
vocational training nationally and internationally. We
look forward to continuing the special partnerships we
have developed over the years especially with other colleges,
national and local businesses and education and training
providers
