What the school says

Seashell Royal School Manchester is a non-maintained special school for children and young adults with the most complex disabilities, aged 4-19. We provide residential and day placements, offering a tailored approach to the specific needs of our students. All our students have profound and multiple learning disabilities with limited or no functional communication skills. Providing an education for this low incidence, high need cohort requires a highly specialist environment and skilled workforce – Seashell Royal School Manchester is one of very few places that can provide this.

The Royal School for the Deaf and Communication Disorders (RSDCD) is a mixed day and residential co-educational, non maintained special school with a college department. RSDCD caters for those students who have severe and complex learning difficulties, combined with significant communication difficulties, which include very limited or no oral language. We are currently divided into three departments which have different curriculum and communication emphases: deaf/severe learning difficulties support; autism support; and multi sensory support.

RSDCD have very good recent Ofsted, Ofsted ALI and CSCI inspection reports and the Post 16 department was commended 'outstanding' in 2005 HMCI report.
