The Mary Hare Foundation
About us
The Foundation was established in 1991 by Sir Philip Wroughton, supported by a group of individuals who wanted to help Mary Hare School by raising funds. The Foundation is a registered charity (number 1002680).
Since it was established the Mary Hare Foundation has raised over £12 million for developments at Mary Hare School, including the 6th Form accommodation, Arlington Arts Centre, the Art Block, Swimming Pool, Accommodation for year 11 and year 7 pupils and most recently the new Primary School and boarding house. Our school is the biggest non-maintained special school in the UK. Whilst we receive funding from Local Authorities and the Government, these only cover the teaching and care of our pupils. Development of new facilities and updating of existing ones depend wholly upon fundraising and donations. Our work to raise much needed funds is therefore key to the future of Mary Hare School and its ability to provide excellent provision to so many deaf pupils.
