A highly specialist primary education centre for deaf children located at Sellincourt Primary School
The Willow Hearing Support Centre (HSC) is a mainstream provision combined with a highly specialist education for multi-sensory impaired children aged 3 to 11 years and their families to provide an inclusive education.

The centre is staffed by three experienced Teachers of the Deaf (TOD), four specialist Teaching Assistants and one part-time Business Support Admin Assistant.  A speech and Language Therapist also works with HSC pupils in the Centre.

The Willow HSC has an extensive range of specialist audiological equipment to facilitate the needs of pupils who wear aid(s) and / or cochlear implant(s).  Pupils are encouraged to take care and be responsible for their own equipment with help and guidance from Teacher of the Deaf.  The Willow HSC has excellent links with the Audiology Department at St George’s Hospital which is in close proximity.
