Following a monitoring visit from Ofsted inspectors on the 4 and 5 of July, staff at Exeter Deaf Academy have been given an end of term boost as the official report highlights a number of significant improvements in the education and care of Deaf young people at the Academy.

With much of last November’s inadequate Ofsted grading focusing on safeguarding concerns, Mr Donkin is particularly...

Using a variety of styles ranging from monologues to poetry, the company highlights the existence of torture and challenges the audience to face this issue head on and to confront society’s ignorance and avoidance of this sensitive and disturbing subject.
