Learning Sign Language is fun and easy to do and children love it. Why not bring a day of inclusivity and learning into your school with a Sign Language Day? Easy to organise, flexible, fun, educational and it will meet your school’s objectives.
Our Sign Language Days bring deaf educators into primary schools to deliver fun, engaging, and memorable Deaf awareness and sign language teaching for children in Key Stage 1 and 2.
A Sign Language Day at your school helps pupils explore communication in fun and new ways, develop empathy and understanding and take the first steps in understanding equality and inclusion.
It’s a day the school won’t forget!
What is a Sign Language Day?
A Sign Language Day is a full or half-day school visit from a Deaf tutor, designed to introduce pupils to British Sign Language (BSL) and Deaf awareness in an interactive, age-appropriate way.
Children learn to sign through songs, games, and storytelling, building confidence and curiosity while discovering what it means to communicate differently.
Every pupil receives a certificate and badge at the end of the day to celebrate their achievement and your school’s commitment to inclusion.
