Founded in 1826, the Deaf Academy provides a school and Further Education college for Deaf young people aged 5-25, and currently has 50 students. Young people living at Rolle House may attend education at the Deaf Academy, and the Academy and Children’s Home work together closely to ensure the wellbeing of young people.
The Academy is located in Devon, but its unique provision and specialist expertise mean that students come from across the UK to attend, with many using the residential care facilities.
In September 2020 the Academy opened the doors of its new home in the vibrant seaside town of Exmouth, just a short drive or train journey from Exeter and 20 minutes from junction 30 of the M5.
