Sign Language Week 2025
'More than a language - Culture, Community and Belonging'

We had a busy morning on Tuesday, 11th March, with a visit from the Bradford City of Culture 2025 social media team. They came to follow Sign Language Week 2025 and to explore this year’s theme: "More than a language – culture, community, and belonging."
These three words are imperative to our Resource Provision (RP) at Swain House Primary School, where BSL (British Sign Language) and English are equally valued. This ensures that our deaf children develop strong language skills and a positive sense of identity.
Our deaf children have access to both deaf and hearing staff, all highly competent in BSL. This creates a culturally rich learning environment with direct teaching in both languages. As a result, deaf children at Swain House RP genuinely feel a sense of belonging!
