Deaf educationBraidwood's nephew Joseph Watsonoffered himself as tutor, and eventually became headmaster ; he wrote On the Education of the Deaf and Dumb(1809). The institute's name and location changed more than once, and for most of the nineteenth century it occupied a purpose-built boarding school on the Old Kent Road, Southwark in Inner London ; it became The Royal School for Deaf Children Margate, which closed in 2015.

In the mid 1960s the Inner London Education Authority set up 2 primary schools for deaf children, Frank Barnes School in North London and Grove House School in South London. They also opened Oak Lodge Secondary School in Wandsworth, South London, which was a boarding school.

In recent years the integration of profoundly deaf children has become standard policy. Long term educational outcomes of this method of education have yet to be assessed.
