ABOUT US

Royal Cross Primary School is a Centre of Expertise providing specialist education for deaf children and children with speech and language difficulties. Based in Preston but with pupils from across the region, Royal Cross is the only provision of its kind in Lancashire.

We have an essential role to play in achieving the five outcomes of Every Child Matters, so that children are healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution and ultimately achieve economic wellbeing.

Children at the school benefit from specialist teaching strategies and resources, personalised learning programmes, full access to all aspects of school life, inclusion opportunities with mainstream schools, excellent ICT facilities, football coaching and swimming.

We believe 'Communication is Key' to success in all areas and use a range of strategies to successfully develop language communication skills.

We use child centred approaches to communication including speech, signing, visual, interactive and practical.

Emotional wellbeing is critical in developing a healthy, successful school community and involves developing pupils social, emotional and behavioural skills. We are committed to the Healthy Schools Standards and have twice achieved Investors in People Status.
