In June 2009, The Mary Hare Foundation launched an appeal to raise the funds for new boarding accommodation for Year 11 students at Mary Hare School. Currently pupils are housed in mixed age boarding accommodation which does not allow them to adopt the type of working practices that are vital in the Post-16 phase of their education. The creation of a new Year 11 boarding house will encourage independent study as well as collaborative learning in the students’ final year before moving on to Sixth Form and preparation for entry to university or other further education.

The Mary Hare Foundation received a substantial legacy in 2008 and these funds will be put towards this major new development. This contribution will be recognised in the naming of the building as ‘Murray House’.
