Welcome to our shared BSL story library from Swain House RP.
These stories are signed clearly and are shared to support language development, inclusion and good practice across Bradford RPs.

To celebrate Sign Language Week (16th - 22nd March 2026), pupils in the RP have produced a special BSL storytelling video of the book Flooded.
One of our Year 4 pupils signs the story in British Sign Language, bringing the book to life through expressive storytelling. At the end of the video, other pupils demonstrate key signs from the story, helping everyone learn some BSL vocabulary.
This recognises British Sign Language as a rich language and a key part of Deaf culture and identity. We are very proud of the pupils’ confidence, creativity, and teamwork in sharing BSL and Deaf culture with our school community.
This work also helps prepare the children for our visit to the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford on Tuesday 24th March, to see the animated film Flow (2024). Flow is a wordless story, so children can enjoy and understand it through visuals, movement, and emotion rather than spoken language.
Happy Sign Language Week!
