Pupils at Oak Lodge School are starring in a brand new four-part television drama which will be broadcast all over the country.

The Clapham school, for the deaf and hearing impaired, took part in a project commissioned by the The British Sign Language Broadcasting Trust.

The youngsters were involved in every aspect of the production process - from devising storylines to casting, rehearsing and finally filming.

Professional set designers transformed parts of the school while make-up and costume artists helped bring the script to life.

The trust was established in 2008 to increase the amount of sign-presented programming on television.

To date the it has commissioned 50 half-hour programmes.
