The Mary Hare Foundation was set up in 1991 to raise funds for Mary Hare School. Since then it’s raised over £8 million to enable the school to modernise and build new facilities.

Mary Hare School is the biggest non-maintained special school in the UK.  It receives funding from Local Authorities and the Government, but this only covers the teaching and care of pupils.  Development of new facilities and updating of existing ones depend wholly upon fundraising and donations. So the work to raise much needed funds is key to the future of Mary Hare School and its ability to provide excellent provision to so many deaf pupils.

Primary School appeal

Mary Hare is building a new Primary School to give deaf children the modern learning environment they deserve.

Our school is currently based in a grade 2* listed building on the edge of Greenham Common in Newbury. It is a beautiful building set in wonderful grounds but it no longer meets our needs and is difficult to maintain and expensive to modernise.

We’re passionate about the children in our care and know that we could do so much more for them if we had a purpose built, modern learning environment, situated on the same site as our Secondary School at Snelsmore Common.
