All recent pupils have now been placed in alternative schools and colleges, or are on the way to being placed.  Local Day pupils have transferred into Inscape Special Schools where their separate Jewish culture and education will be supported.  The Charity maintains contact with the Together Trust who run the Inscape Schools to discuss how this can be done in the most effective manner.

 

The old Cheshire school site has been sold, leaving the newly re-branded Delamere Charitable Trust with modest assets with which it is vigorously pursuing its ongoing aims.

 

For the longer term future, we have joined forces with JADDS, a Manchester based parent support group for Jewish children with special needs, to promote the establishment of a Special Needs Unit within a Jewish School and to this end, we set up the Manchester Jewish Special Educational Needs School Unit Working Group, a cross community working group which started work in December 2011.

 

Discussions with charities and individuals in London have been held with a view to considering whether the future residential requirements for Jewish children with Special Educational Needs can be developed by the London Jewish Community.
