"Outstanding school with excellent staff"

We have been part of the Royal Cross community for several years now and I can honestly say it's the best decision we made. The staff are caring, supportive and go above and beyond for our children. The facilities are always clean and well-maintained, and the values and ethos of the school really shine through in the way the children are taught and encouraged.

"Room for improvement in communication"

We've been part of the Royal Cross community for a few years now, and while we appreciate the school's commitment to deaf education, we've sometimes struggled with communication. There have been a few instances where we haven't received information about upcoming events or changes to the school day on time. However, the teachers are generally very supportive and the facilities are great.

"A wonderful school for deaf children"

I have two children who attended Royal Cross and I can confidently say it was an excellent school for them. The staff were very supportive and made sure they were included in all activities and events. The school's focus on British Sign Language and deaf culture really helped them develop their confidence and self-esteem.
