st mary's school and 6th form college
Thank you for visiting the St Mary’s School and College website. We are a
non-maintained residential special school for children with Speech, Language and
Communication needs. St Mary's is based on the south east coast of England in
Bexhill, East Sussex and we cater for both residential and day pupils aged 7 to
19. Since 1922, it has been our mission to ensure that children with Speech,
Language and Communication needs and additional difficulties receive the
integrated support they need to enable them to achieve their potential and take
their place in the community. St Mary’s is a total communication environment.
This means we utilise a range of approaches that enable our pupils to succeed in
their development of their communication skills. All of our staff, including
those in non-child facing roles, are trained in sign-supported English. Our
staff team provide assistance for parents and carers who wish to learn to sign
in order that they can support their child in the home. In addition, we value
and proactively invest in communication and learning technologies.
