Strode College students studying British Sign Language have produced an absolutely lovely Christmas video highlighting their newly acquired skills in signing to the tune of the 12 days of Christmas.

Learning British Sign Language has surged in popularity with the first deaf contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, Rose Ayling-Ellis. Her brilliant dancing with professional dancing partner Giovanni Pernice has inspired a new generation of people to learn the art of communication using British Sign Language.

Rose, 26, is best known for playing Frankie Lewis in EastEnders. But she's made headlines throughout this year's Strictly competition as she has danced so fantastically despite being deaf and has brought attitudes towards disability into the spotlight.

We are very pleased to offer the British Sign Language course at Strode College and are planning to offer a new course in the new year.
