The Open College of Sign Language started in 1992 and was founded by Roy Massey and Lyn Butchart. It was initially designed to ' bridge the gap ' between the hearing and deaf communities. 18 years on we have successfully provided curricula to thousands of people from all walks of life including: business professionals, school children and teachers, pre school children, socio economically disadvantaged groups and the police force.
We recognise that all pupils have different talents and strive to ensure that every pupil has an equal opportunity to find and develop the talents they do possess. We believe that the development of spirituality, character, intellect and creativity are the primary aims of education. We work together to create a happy and caring school community which is engaged in our local community and the wider world.
The College is small - we have approximately 150 students per year aged 16 to 18 (plus another 500+ older students). This means that we know our students and offer a friendly and supportive environment. Classes are taught in small groups, usually between 8 and 10 people. No, we offer courses for disabled and non-disabled students and a very supportive learning environment for everyone.
Our School Motto of "Carpe Diem", taken from a poem in the classical text Odes by Horace, reflects our mission that children should seize the opportunities available to them in their learning journey, and enjoy and make use of their educational experience gained with us in order to fulfil their potential in life. We hope you find the information on this website informative but to really feel the uniqueness of our school we would urge you to come and visit us and meet our pupils and staff.
