Haskel is the only Jewish School in the North East of England that caters exclusively to children with disabilities and special educational needs.
Haskel School is more than just a school - it’s a lifeline for children with disabilities and special educational needs in the North-East of England.
As the only Jewish school in the region dedicated to Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, Haskel provides the exclusive Torah chinuch, a bespoke educational and therapeutic environment tailored to each child’s unique needs. All in a warm, frum environment.
Recently awarded Outstanding by Ofsted, Haskel is a place where children aged 4-19 with a wide range of disabilities and special needs - including profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), Down’s Syndrome, autism, ADHD, anxiety, and more - are empowered to thrive.
Our individualised approach ensures every pupil receives a personalised education and support plan. This nurturing environment reflects our Jewish ethos while empowering children to overcome barriers, achieve personal milestones, and prepare for a more independent future.
For many pupils, Haskel bridges the gap between mainstream and special needs education, offering opportunities they might not otherwise have. Without Haskel, these children would face social isolation and a lack of appropriate resources to support their growth.Why Your Support Matters
Providing this high level of personalised education and support comes at a significant cost. Haskel faces an annual funding gap of £300k to £350k, which must be filled to sustain and enhance the exceptional services our pupils rely on.
This Illuminating Their Potential matched-giving campaign is critical to ensuring that every child at Haskel receives the education, support, and opportunities they need to thrive.
Your contribution will:
- Enable the continuity of the only frum SEND provision in the North-East.
- Give you a partnership in the chinuch of these children, something they cannot get elsewhere.
- Sustain educational and therapeutic support tailored to each child’s unique needs.
- Enhance learning environments, providing resources that directly improve educational outcomes.
- Expand access to crucial therapies that empower children to overcome challenges.
- Strengthen our inclusion programme, fostering greater understanding and acceptance within the wider community.
- Enhance life skills and vocational training, preparing pupils for adulthood with confidence and greater independence.
By participating in this campaign, you’re not just helping bridge a funding gap—you’re investing in the future of children who depend on Haskel for their academic, social, and spiritual development.
Let’s work together to illuminate their potential and create brighter futures.
Helping And Supporting Kids to Excel in Life is Haskel’s mission.
