Ovingdean Hall School

Ovingdean Hall Foundation, located in Brighton, is a non-maintained special school that focuses on providing educational opportunities for deaf children and young people. Originally established as Ovingdean Hall School for Deaf Children, the institution transitioned to a charitable foundation in 2010 due to declining pupil numbers. It continues to uphold the ethos of its predecessor by supporting various educational projects and initiatives aimed at enhancing the learning experiences of deaf students.

The foundation collaborates with several partners, including the Ewing Foundation, to offer resources and training for professionals working with deaf children. It funds scholarships for teachers training to specialise in deaf education, ensuring a skilled workforce dedicated to meeting the needs of these learners. Additionally, Ovingdean Hall Foundation has invested in projects that provide access to music, theatre, and sports, thereby enriching the educational and social experiences of deaf children.

Community involvement is a cornerstone of the foundation’s mission, as it works alongside various charities to improve services and facilities for deaf children. Through grant-making and support initiatives, Ovingdean Hall Foundation remains committed to fostering an inclusive environment that empowers deaf children and young people to thrive.
