The Hearing Support Centre (HSC) at the Alun School is a resourced Centre for students who are deaf. It has a dedicated team of staff including two teachers of the deaf and four support workers.

The high level of support provided by the centre, together with the broad and balanced curriculum, makes it possible for each student to take full advantage of all aspects of school life and be encouraged to reach their full potential.

The aims of the HSC are to fulfil the following rights of deaf children and young people:

To be fully included in the life of the school;
To have their individual needs respected;
To have a full and relevant education in an appropriate environment so that they leave education with optimal language and communication skills;
To have the necessary literacy skills to enable them to take full advantage of the curriculum, including the National Curriculum;
To develop the range of skills, knowledge and experiences required for individual fulfilment and independence;
To develop appropriate skills to enable them to participate in hearing and deaf communities to the extent that they themselves choose;
To be valued in terms of both their deaf and hearing identities.
