Exeter Deaf Academy
The Exeter Royal Academy for Deaf Education has been given the go ahead on a new site.
The four-acre site in the Hill Barton area of Exeter was the former home of St Luke’s secondary school. Speaking to the BBC the Academy’s Chief Executive, Jonathan Farnhill, said it had taken two years to agree the new location with Devon County Council. “It’s hugely exciting for everyone – a new beginning and a new opportunity,” he said. dRMM have been working with the Academy since 2007 to assist with developing an educational vision defined around the needs of deaf children and young people. Planning submission is expected Spring 2012.
