Choosing Mary Hare Primary

Due to the low incidence of deafness in children, the number in any one geographical area is small. As a result, many of our pupils live a considerable distance from school and need to board during the week.

We pay great attention to providing a homely, caring atmosphere and our specially trained staff take every opportunity to use the children's experience in play and the routines of the home to foster their general development. The growth of self-discipline, respect for other people and helping them are essential elements in growing up.

Naturally, in a specialist school for deaf children, all relevant teaching and learning areas are acoustically treated to ensure that all forms of amplification can be used effectively. We follow the National Curriculum with the addition of French, differentiating work to suit pupils' individual needs.

Mary Hare Primary School would like to offer you an open invitation to visit us at the school, to see our teaching methods in action, meet our dedicated staff and to look around our extensive buildings, all set in beautiful surroundings on the rural outskirts of Newbury. Please contact the Head of Centre to discuss your child's needs.
