Stage 1 of Level 1
BSL for young deaf people at school is now complete and we are waiting for
the results on the exams for their first module. My Language aims to
encourage Deaf children to take up BSL as an academic subject which they can
gain nationally recognised qualifications in.
Most of them already have the Signing skills to complete at least level one
with just a little support.
KDCS is piloting 'My Language' in two schools - Sittingbourne
Community College and Castle Hill School .If other schools are interested in
being part of the next wave of participants then contact.
