Apart from sign language  Fulton School set high academic standards for those pupils in the academic stream but also provides for the needs of others who require more Entrepreneurial Life Skills and Vocational Courses to increase their chances of employment. 

The school brochure reads: " In our house dwells only quietness. It is our mission to uphold our reputation in providing the best education possible to the Deaf Learner. This is becoming increasingly difficult with the severe cuts in state funding. We are a multi-cultural school and a  large percentage of our learners come from seriously disadvantages communities. They cannot pay school and hostel fees which compounds the problem. We have every intention to keep our school doors open to these learners. Deaf individuals are already marginalised in the bigger community and face huge barriers in entering the competitive job market. Education is their passport to leading meaningful lives and becoming independent and productive citizens."
