Mary Hare School

Mary Hare is a specialist education provider focused on deaf education and audiology, offering a wide range of professional courses and training opportunities for those working with deaf children and young people. Its professional training provision is underpinned by more than 100 years of collective experience working with profoundly deaf learners. Mary Hare is the first and, according to its website, the only training provider in the country for the Teacher for the Sensory Impaired (QTOD) apprenticeship. Each year the organisation teaches around 200 deaf children, and this ongoing practical experience informs the specialist strategies, techniques, and use of technology and audiology that shape its professional training. Mary Hare provides postgraduate programmes, including a PG Dip in Teaching Deaf Learners (QTOD), a PGDip in Educational Audiology, MA dissertation opportunities, and single-module CPD options, delivered in partnership with a number of organisations. These courses are designed to support professionals across schools, local authorities, and related services to secure better educational outcomes and a strong future for deaf children and young people.
