As part of British Science Week (7-16 March 2025), students at our Trust school Meadowdale were delighted by a programme of events arranged by Davidsons Homes and DTC Construction to support them in their celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths.

We were delighted to welcome the Children's Commissioner for England, Dame Rachel de Souza to our Trust school, Hope Hamilton CE Primary School, last week. Dame de Souza joined Bishop Martyn Snow, Bishop of Leicester, to find out about the ongoing efforts and initiatives dedicated to improving the well-being and rights of children in our community. 

Colleagues from Learn Academies Trust (Learn-AT), an educational trust of 19 schools in the East Midlands, were honoured to visit Rainbows Hospice for Babies, Children and Young People recently, to present them with a cheque for £5945. After school council members across the Trust selected Rainbows Hospice to be their Charity of the Year, the campaign received overwhelming support from children, parents, staff and school community members. Numerous events have taken place over the last 12 months aiming to raise as much money as possible for this worthwhile cause, including a 140km bike ride undertaken by the Trust Central Team, who cycled to all of the Trust schools in one day.

Learn Academies Trust (Learn-AT), a multi-academy trust of 19 schools in the East Midlands, is delighted to announce that they have successfully gained the prestigious Research Mark Plus from the Chartered College of Teaching, becoming one of the first educational trusts in the country to achieve this.

News has been spreading fast about the lovely letter that the children at our Trust school Church Langton CE Primary School received from Leicester's very own Sir David Attenborough.

After writing to hint to tell him that they were studying him as part of their work on 'The lives of significant individuals’, they were delighted to receive a reply from him saying how complimented he was!
